Cassin's Kingbird (1 Viewer)

I saw a Cassin's Kingbird at Lake Murray today, 10-05-02. It differs from the Western Kingbird in that the Western has some white feathers on the outer portion of the tail and the Cassin's does not. I'm going to try to attache a photo of each Kingbird in this thread. Don't know if that's possible but I'll find out. Photo of the Western Kingbird was taken on 09-25-02, also at Lake Murray, San Diego, CA, USA.

OK. Only one attachement to a post. Now I know. Now here is the Western KIngbird.

Boy-o-boy! You had to find one of my many failed quests. Connecticut had a Western Kingbird around for quite awhile in the late 1990's. I searched many, many times for it but was not successful. Hope I get another chance, someday. Great photos.

Thanks, Dave. I hadn't seen any postings from you for awhile and I wondered if you were OK. Good to hear from you.

OK

:cat: Thanks for caring, Mary. I've been better but I'm a survivor. I always come back.
