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.
