June 26-27, 2004 DeSoto Co. MS Mississippi's first Western Kingbird's nest successfully fledged 3 of the 4 young on Saturday. I was lucky enough to find the nest and be present for the hatching and again lucky enough to be there at fledging time. TLBA strikes again....... By staying in the truck on the slightly elevated road, I was able to get quite a few photos of the feeding process. I have now located 5 Western Kingbird nests this year in TN and MS.
