Note: Watched as one of these birds attacked a Northern Roughed-winged Swallow 
as it was passing by. It lached onto its back bringing it to the ground before 
letting it go for passing to close to its tree. Interesting that the Orioles 
and Kingbirds tolerate each other to nest in the same tree. They seem to have 
no issue with each other.
