My buddy and I saw this Cassin's Kingbird hunting insects from the same perch.
We set ourselves up for a take-off/flight shot and we got fortunate to have him fly on the same focal plane as he took-off. We both got a few nice sharp frames. 
That's usually not the case!! 

1DX---840mm---f6.3---ss1/4000th---ISO640---HH from truck@8:20am---35% crop

Thanks as always for looking and for your input.  I appreciate it.

Perfect wing position and head turn. Sharp with a nice clean background. A species that has eluded me. Thanks for posting, Dave

Isn't it great when observation, patience and skill all come together in an excellent result! Beautiful capture of the take off/flight David.
