New species #85: The Tropical Kingbird

            While out on our hotel property the last morning of our trip, I decided to head down to the beach to see what might be moving about. 

About halfway down the path this fellow landed on a branch some 10 feet in front of my face. It was within my focal range so I had to back-up to get this shot. It held so perfectly still in this pose captured that I was almost sure that afterwards it was going to ask me for money!

Sometimes wildlife shots couldn’t come any easier…this is one!
