June 18, 2004 DeSoto Co. Mississippi Ensley Bottoms, Shelby Co, TN 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: http://www.pbase.com/ol_coot/western_kingbird_ms 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!!! Jeff R.
