I had an appointment down town this morning and left early enough to check  
out the Kingbird site in Frayser. Sitting out on a wire, fly catching, one  
Western Kingbird. Last year there were multiple nestings at this location  
including the female Scissor-tail mated with a western Kingbird. It will be fun 
 to 
see if any of the 5 hybrid youngsters from last years mixed species nesting  
show up and what will they look like?? 
 
This afternoon, I checked for the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher on Presidents  
Island and the female is back building her nest on the same crossbar where I  
first found them four years ago. The male was sitting out on the wire watching  
her work.  
Good Birding  !!!
