About After researching the internet I believe the bird with the yellow breast I have been photographing is a Western Kingbird. Here is one of the young ones that is out of the nest but isn't flying yet.

From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Western_Kingbird/lifehistory

An eye-catching bird with ashy gray and lemon-yellow plumage, the Western Kingbird is a familiar summertime sight in open habitats across western North America. This large flycatcher sallies out to capture flying insects from conspicuous perches on trees or utility lines, flashing a black tail with white edges. Western Kingbirds are aggressive and will scold and chase intruders (including Red-tailed Hawks and American Kestrels) with a snapping bill and flared crimson feathers they normally keep hidden under their gray crowns.

Thank you Harry. I had not seen this bird either until last year and had no idea what kind of bird it was until I finally found it on the internet.

Thank you Paul. They are a very territorial bird. This tree is in my front yard and they were terrorizing a crow in a tree in my back yard.
