Gray Kingbird
Very similar to the preceding, but somewhat larger and without the white at the tip of the tail.
Breeding Range--South Carolina, southward.
The nest is not as large or compact as that of the common kingbird; the materials used in its construction are much the same; it is placed indiscriminately in bushes or trees, usually not very far from water. 3 to 4 eggs are laid; they are pinkish buff, with spots and blotches of dark brown and lilac. Size--1.00 x .75.
The breeding season begins in May.
