Bird - Lore 



got busy again, and in a few days when I made the last trip for the season to the 

 mangroves, new nests were appearing, as it is not unusual for the Kingbirds 

 to raise two broods in a season. As I rounded a point, I saw my last Gray King- 

 bird for the year, perched high on a stub that was nicely set off by fleecy 

 banks of clouds in the sky behind, screaming defiance until I and my canoe 

 had passed far beyond penetration of his voice, then, hovering over the 

 mangroves, he dropped from sight into their soft green arms.
