I saw this bird a couple of times only to have is fly away when I came back outside with my camera. I got lucky to get this far away photograph. According to my bird books, seeing a Great Kiskadee this far north (Creedmoor, Texas) is rare.

Great Kiskadee
Wow, beautiful! My book says they’re “seen … near water”. Must be all this rain!
Our ponds probably look like puddles to them. Don’t know why this one is hanging around.
