Western Kingbirds

Western Kingbird Today I saw one of the young ones poking the tip of its bill above the edge of the nest next to my trailer. I have walked around that tree more times than I care to admit looking for a little bit more of an opening in the foliage but it is just not there. It was a challenge using binoculars to what I did see. I climbed on top of my trailer and would actually be at eye level with the nest but from that angle it is all but completely obscured by branches and leaves. These smart parents have tucked it away nicely.

I made this image this afternoon of one of them flying in with a freshly caught insect. But I call "do-over" since the clouds had begun to move in and want this shot with a deep blue sky. I tend to be picky about these things.
