    adult below dam spotted by Min as I was rushing to the Kingbird. He spotted it with such excitement that I had to turn around and check it out, even with the target rarity just ahead! Later another flew overhead

  8. Tropical/Couch's Kingbird

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    ***mega; photographed earlier but species uncertain; I was rushing up to assembled crowd (Max, Francis, Jeremiah, and one other) when Min (age 3) spotted a night-heron on the river and had such excitement that I couldn’t blow it off. After pausing for the heron we headed over to the Kingbird and had two minutes of quick poor looks from directly below. Clearly Tropical/Couch’s (bright yellow with greenish chest up to throat, tail dark brownish below with no white text edging (eliminating Western and Cassin’s) and pale at tip (eliminating Cassin’s). See Jeremiah photos for my view. Bird silent for my two minutes there then flew off north and was never seen again. As I understand it, nobody played tape to it, which was unfortunate
