Justin: They are very common up there....I was busted up from a wreck in
Eusless up there and was bed ridden much of a long hot summer in '69 or
70. Dad kept bee hives in the back. I studied Western Kingbirds every
day, all day thru a long hot summer from the time they were nest building
until the young were fledged....I suspect I know WEKIs better than the
average birder. I watched as they could pick the stingless and larger
drone bees out from the worker bees in the bee's flight with uncanny
precision...A lot of beekeepers used to shoot kingbirds and scissortails
thinking they were killing and eating the productive female workers. In
fact the kingbirds are thinning the colonies out of the primarily worthless
and unproductive drone (male) free-loaders.
