The Great Kiskadee In Flight – Up In The Air!
Written on June 21, 2011 Categories: Action/Motions, Birds, SeasonalWe spent some quality time at station one in the Bentsen Rio Grande State Park and found it to be very interesting. Usually we just take off on the trolley and head to the bird blinds like everyone else but today we decided to just sit it out. We remained at station one and watched the action. I’m glad we did because a family of Great Kiskadees were in residence for most of the day at the feeders.
Now this guy is doing some type of food dance. Imagine trying to do those twists and turns while getting food….
This one’s my favorite — dead center in flight with determination. I did learn something. During the whole time we watched these Kiskadees feeding, we never did see them land on the feeder itself. They hovered and ate quickly at the feed holes themselves but never once did they land like other birds. It might be their size, momentum and stuff that keeps them from landing. Other birds just land on the feeder at different angles & directions, but the Kiskadees just seem uncoordinated. They just don’t seem to enjoy their meal like the other birds.
