Tyrannus verticalis
Barb wire fence between busy street and US Navy base. Just inside fence was flat field of weeds - and LOUD fighter jets taking off.
Details: Continuing. Found by Karl Suttmann on January 14th. Refound yesterday by Mark Burns. This morning, I saw it and a second Western Kingbird intermittently flying together. Each time, one returned to the barb wired fence, and the other landed on the ground or flew out of sight. When the Oceana Navy jets roared and took flight, the other birds scattered; but the brazen Kingbird on the fence calmly preened - “like a boss!”
