Our friendly neighborhood birds are in a frenzy regarding their nests and their young.  This is very typical behavior at this time of year.  By the way, I was led to the Western Kingbird fledgling by a parent when I came out the door for an errand.  Last year I obtained a photo of a recently fledged Mourning Dove on the property, too.
