21. Western Kingbird

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    Very rare. Originally seen around 8:40am while walking along hedgerow. I noticed a bird perched about 8 feet up but mostly hidden except part of the face. I got a brief look and could see it was something interesting. I moved about a foot to get a better angle and the bird turned briefly showing off a pale yellow belly and then took off...I knew it was something interesting so decided to try to get some in flight photos as it was going away for review later and I managed to get a few. I was initially thinking some pale myiarchus flycatcher but my views were very brief and I only saw small portions of the bird. I alerted a few nearby birders to the potential for a rare flycatcher in the area. I then spent the next hour and a half looking for it without any luck...I was about out of energy after a long night of work so I left it to others to try to track it down. While I was there no one else I ran into had any luck finding the bird either (later I saw that Beth photographed a bird she initially ID'd as a Great crested Flycatcher was indeed the Western Kingbird. Mary then texted me letting me know a western type (likely Western Kingbird) had been seen and photographed in the area. I finally downloaded my photos and my bird was indeed a Western Kingbird showing the grayish head and upper chest, yellowish belly and dark tail with white sides. Photos attached.
