After a meal of flying insects the tropical kingbird cleans its beak on a branch.

I have often heard of these guys showing up on the island this time of year but this is a first for me seeing and photographing one. Very lovely plumage and brilliant yellow belly. Quite large compared to some other flycatchers almost robin sized. The background is out of focus fir trees.

I was looking through my images this afternoon and found a nice over the shoulder shot of the tropical kingbird. Thought you might like it.
