Western Kingbird - AR - 6-18-05 sleeping

I reversed my direction and went back to Highway 18, turned right and went over the levee to the Mississippi River. The Bunge Corp. has a grain loading facility here and I found this bird dozing in the afternoon sun. The bird was perched on a wire out over the water at the loading chute. It was actually sleeping and did so for quite some time. He finally woke up and started flycatching around the structure. So another nest hunt was started.

The TN line runs close to the AR side at this point so the nest was just yards from being in TN.
