ââSoccerâ is a sport where grown men cavort and prance.â âThe four spend the evening singing a bit, dancing, or perhaps more aptly cavorting, around the stage and impersonating the various types of their acquaintance, both male and female.â
Eastern Kingbird: Large flycatcher, blue-black back, wings, black tail with white terminal band, white underparts. Head is black, has inconspicuous red crown feathers visible when bird is displaying. Black bill, legs, feet. Fluttering stiff-winged direct flight with shallow wing beats.
Conservation status: Green. With its noisy chattering, black-and-white plumage and long tail, there is nothing else quite like the magpie in the UK. When seen close-up its black plumage takes on an altogether more colourful hue with a purplish-blue iridescent sheen to the wing feathers, and a green gloss to the tail.
