Caught this Eastern Kingbird riding and pecking a recently-fledged Bald Eagle. The Eagle was squawking up a storm through the ordeal. Photo 4 shows the small bird releasing as the Eagle neared the tree line. Photo 7 shows the nest. Photo 5 is junior telling mom about his harrowing experience? (probably just wanted lunch).
There are 2 Menidia species in CT. This one has 15-16 anal fin rays. Atlantic silversides have 22-25. This one has kind of a weird face.
Juvenile what? Salt marsh. (photos not all the same individual)
