Tulip Tree with Kiskadee

This fellow was at the opposite end of the lot at the top of a giant African Tulip Tree.  Thanks to the wonderful zoom on my new Canon camera, I captured him!  Thanks, Canon.

He was catching bugs as they went by.  You can see one in his beak in this photo.

Here you can see him going after yet another fly.  It was an almost constant repetition of a theme.  A great hunting ground!  My shutter speed wasn’t fast enough to freeze his movement, but at least the flowers were in focus!

And then he flew away! He always returned, but my mind turned to other things, and two days later I had this nice surprise on my camera when I finally got around to downloading the pictures from my camera.  Another day’s challenge met!!!

(In Mexico, the name for the African Tulip Tree is Tulipan.  It is also sometimes called a Fountain Tree.)
