Great shots of the Kiskadees. As many as we saw that week, none provided good shots like these.

But given the choice, I'd gladly take a Kiskadee instead. I wouldn't even need it to land on the tip of my nose, like yours evidently did. If the young bird was a Pretty Good Kiskadee, your last shot must be of a Superlative Kiskadee.

I eventually led him into a Long-billed Thrasher ambush, but can't show photos of that for legally incriminating reasons.
