Down in here in Ga you can always see them perched on the edge of a field in the summer. Always exciting to see them return.

Is the Eastern Kingbird liable to reuse a nest that it built this year, next year? /lakes region NH.

[@LeadwithNature]

Sometimes they will.

I see these birds all the time in summer. I often see them chasing after any bird that dares enter their territory. I've seen them go after grackles, crows, hawks, bald eagles, and even great blue herons. I think they're so cool I even named this account after them.

Lucky you!

Who doesn’t like bugs ?

Ours is the Western variety here in Oregon, with a bit more volume in his chuckling song/call. I think they are near the tail end of their season here though (mid July). It was a pleasure to meet him and he will be missed. 🐦
