Tyrannus tyrannus. 1906 June 12th Bethel 1907 Tyrannus tyrannus G. Umbarger August 5 The King bird has not learned, apparently, to discriminate between Hawks of dangerous and harmless kinds: I saw one pursue a Fish Hawk for some distance this afternoon rising above it and darting down to peck at its head and back. Half an hour afterwards, as I was sitting in my Darling cause tree, a large King bird alighted on a dead branch which is only about 6 feet in height. It remained there only an instant; however. The said tree not located on the lawn. 1907 Tyrannus tyrannus G. Umbarger August 10 Despite his fearlessness in destroying Hawks and Crows, the Kingbird - like many another Bully under similar conditions - sometimes goes away and seeks safety in cowardice when assailed by a bird not keen when assailed by a more powerful than and apparently was more powerful than himself. I saw this happen today when a Yellow-bellied Woodpecker pursued a Kingbird in a circle and counter-clockwise, a King bird passed behind B. Point, where I sat within ten yards when I came within ten yards when I saw the Woodpecker dash repeatedly at the back of the Kingbird who was at the back of the branch and darting and twisting all the while, and giving his shrill alarm notes incessantly. After they had separated, the Woodpecker alighted on some one or two sticks where I was surprised to find that it was a young bird, apparently a ♀.
