All About Birds has this to say about Tyrannus tyrannus: "With dark gray upperparts and a neat white tip to the tail, the Eastern Kingbird looks like it’s wearing a business suit. And this big-headed, broad-shouldered bird does mean business—just watch one harassing crows, Red-tailed Hawks, Great Blue Herons, and other birds that pass over its territory." Comments | Permalink

Chief Chris Taylor says "As we enter the summer season and this week kicks off national safe boating week, we want to remind you to be safe on the water this season. The statistics speak for themselves. 79% of boat deaths are due to drowning, 86% of victims are NOT wearing a life jacket and 2/3 of drowning victims are 'good' swimmers.
Wearing a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket is the simplest life-saving strategy for being in or around the water." Comments | Permalink
