Hello!

I was just wondering if anyone had any recent information on the presence/absence of the Western Kingbird reported in the weekly RBA?  This is the first that I have heard of it and any info would be greatly appreciated.  Please reply privately to my e-mail or via the list serv as I'm sure there are others who would be interested as well.  Thanks in advance.
