Observation details

Four young about to fledge seen in and around the nest. Western Kingbird actively feeding the young, eastern kingbird seen flying around the same area. The dark masked look is typical of this hybrid, also the gray "necklace" is more common on a EAKI fledgeling, instead of the gray wash on the entire upper breast of a WEKI fledgeling... photos
