Shelby Co, TN
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 !!!
