I put out on the ground a portion of crushed corn for local deer we have. Twice now I have seen a King bird fly down and harass the young spike buck that is a fairly regular diner. I have not seen it act interested in the corn just the young buck. The bird has even landed on the buck to be quickly shooed away by the buck. The buck seems to be anoyed but quickly shoos the bird off. This can go on for several minutes or until the deer is done and retrearts to the woods.<br /><br />Bruce LubeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05437953131118326926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-15647397690373626732010-07-03T16:05:07.478-04:002010-07-03T16:05:07.478-04:00Great post, Chris.

I could never figure out what those were but looking at the photos again: they certainly look like kingbirds.Hilke Brederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357741278362930033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-32377967842709052752010-07-03T08:33:23.174-04:002010-07-03T08:33:23.174-04:00Wonderful post!

Plus they're fun to watch swooping down to catch bugs.<br /><br />One year we had a pair nesting nearby. My daughter had tied some string around a tree and the poor bird kept flying in circles around the tree trying to take it back to the nest. I finally went out and cut the string, as well as putting many other pieces out. The birds took them all. I delighted in watching them that year. This is the first year in a while that we haven't had a pair nesting nearby. How I miss them!A New England Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04345194920944256200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27055376.post-1970575696784564972010-07-03T07:32:50.586-04:002010-07-03T07:32:50.586-04:00Wow, I'm stunned how patient and how much time...Wow, I'm stunned how patient and how much time you take to write all these things on the bird you see. The pictures are wonderful as well as the text which was a real pleasure to read! Thanks...Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336362938871245037noreply@blogger.com
