below. Orange-red patch on the crown, and 

 white band on end of tail. 



Field-marks: White tail-band. 



Size and Shape: Length 8.5 inches. Bill 

 thin. 



Call: A sharp " Tsee, tsee." 



Seasonal Abundance: Arrives the first week 

 in May. 



Remarks: A favorite perch of the Kingbird 

 is a telegraph wire or the top of some tree. They 

 are often seen chasing large birds, particularly 

 Crows, which they attack with great zeal, soon 

 driving them from the neighborhood.
