I had this bird on the wire above my bluebird house and thought it was a female but now am not sure. Anyone know. Thanks BEV

This is just a guess and the experts will come along but it looks like an Eastern Kingbird. Definitely not a Bluebird though.

Looks like a swallow/martin species. Do they have tree swallows in your area?

I believe the Eastern Kingbird has a crest and is darker. I have seen them unless this could be a young one. I have never seen a tree swqallow in this area. Thanks BEV

It could possibly be the Eastern Kingbird: [HYPERLINK@animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu] [HYPERLINK@www.birds.cornell.edu]

Eastern Phoebe.

Note the all-black tail, Eastern Kingbird has a distinctive white tip to the tail.
