[TN-Bird] Western Kingbirds, Scissor-t Flycatcher, and Hybrids

May 15, 2009
Shelby, Co. TN
 
A late afternoon tour, produced 10 Western Kingbirds, 1 male Scissor-tailed 
 Flycatcher and two female Hybrids of these two species, at 5 locations. 
One  female Hybrid, the original female found in 2004, has returned to her 
favorite  nesting site on President's Island for the 6th year. A male 
Scissor-tailed  Flycatcher and a Western Kingbird were located within a mile or 
so of 
her.  Another female Hybrid, along with a male Western Kingbird, has 
returned to  a nesting site used by hybrids for the past 4 years in Frayser, 3 
Westerns  were seen in the industrial area in southwest Memphis where they were 
at  nesting sites, and 5 were found around an electrical substation off 
Third  Street. I did not see any Westerns at the Ensley Stream Plant and did 
not make  it out to the Chelsea Ave site. But it looks like these birds are 
setting up  house keeping all over Shelby Co.
 
 
Good Birding  !!!
