[TN-Bird] Flycatchers and Kingbirds - Shelby Co.

May 23-24-25-26, 2009
Shelby Co. TN
 
The male Scissor-tailed Flycatcher on President's Island has been joined by 
 the female and she was in a hurry. The nest was mostly finished in 3 days 
and by  the 26 th she was laying eggs. The original hybrid female showed up 
at her  regular nesting site on the island but not seen the last few days. A 
single  Western Kingbird is being consistently seen near the causeway to 
the island and  two nests were being constructed in the McLemore / Trigg area. 
 
A single Western Kingbird has finally shown up at the Allen Steam Plant,  
while both a pure Western and a hybrid female are building nests at the 
Frayser  Location. For the third year one of the hybrids started a nest in the 
exact same  location on a pole but again has abandoned the site only to 
relocate??
 
Six birds have been seen at the Levee road area with two carrying nesting  
material over the weekend and a single bird was seen at the new Chelsea 
location  reported last year. 
 
Six active locations again in Memphis, how many more?  
Good Birding  !!!
