This afternoon, I thought I'd check on Mississippi's first Western Kingbird's 
nest I found on June 6. I first reported this nest as being in Tunica Co. but 
I checked the maps and have determined it to be about 20 feet north of the 
Tunica line and actually is in DeSoto Co.

There were 4 newly hatched young in the nest and I've posted new photos 
bringing this saga up to date. Try:

After leaving there, I went to Ensley Bottoms in TN and had good luck there 
also. I photographed the Common Moorhen reported last weekend and found and 
photographed another Western Kingbird nest. That makes two confirmed nests and 
I 
still have two males on territory so we may have 4 nests this year at Ensley 
Bottoms.


Good Birding!!!
