A king without a crown? 👑 In this week’s #FeatherFriday, we have a young Eastern Kingbird! These insect-eaters may be small, but they’re known for their bold and feisty behaviour. 📌 Note: If you notice this Kingbird holding its beak open during handling, don’t worry! It’s not a stress response. Like other flycatchers, they may gape their beaks while being held, either in preparation to nip or to clap their bill defensively. 📌 Please note: All bird handling completed at the Tommy Thompson Park
