| They are not common in Phoenix, but they are apparently nesting in the trees near my house in New Mexico. Fluttery things with calls that sound like a dog's squeak-toy.
Compared to mockingbirds, they are less of a jet-fighter swooper and more of a 'dogfighter' in the air. But they have harassed the local ravens enough that they don't even bother to try to fly through. http://www.askthebirds.org/2011/12/k-is-for-kingbird.html And look at this picture:
Gotta love a bird that feisty, and I'm glad they aren't any bigger. |
