A hybrid female Western/Scissor-tail has returned and seems again paired  
with a male Western Kingbird. Two such females, from a pairing in 2006, 
returned  
and produced young by male Western Kingbirds in 2007 at this site. For  
photos taken today and previous years, try:

Another hybrid type female has produced young at a site on President's  
Island for two successive years but these were from a pairing with a full male  
Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. A male Scissor-tail was seen on President's Island  
today and Western Kingbirds were located at two other nesting sites west of  
President's Island here at Memphis.
 
Good Birding  !!!
