Description
A pair of kingbirds built a nest in an ash tree in our yard this spring. Unfortunately, the ash never leafed out and eventually these feisty birds lost the battle with the magpies and lost their eggs. They continued to protect the nest most of the summer, and got so used to my presence that they seemed to pose for me. They were fun to watch swooping out to grab insects. And they are courageous - I've seen them attach red tailed hawks numerous times.
