I rarely see anything special on this route, so I really wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings. However, just before I reached Maddox Cove, I spotted two birds sitting on a wire on the right side of the road.
I opened my sunroof and began to ease myself into position to be able to see what the birds were by looking through the opening. I was afraid that getting out of the car might spook them, and then, I might never know what they were.
I got a good look, albeit straight up. They were Eastern Kingbirds. What a surprise! One of the birds was much smaller than the other, and at first, I thought I might have two species sitting on the wire. However, when I uploaded my pictures on the computer, it was clear - TWO Eastern Kingbirds.
This was really nice because I missed the Kingbird in Renews when I went down to check out the Great Blue Heron. In Arkansas, this species is almost as prevelent as the Robin is here.
