Hi Chatters,

It's a very happy new year here in SoCal! A kingbird seen on and off for the
last few days has finally been identified as a Couch's Kingbird (Tyrannus
couchii). I've been told that this is the first record in the US west of
Texas. <snip>

Hmmm. What's that I hear? The collective necks of all Bird Records Committee
members on the west coast snapping to attention maybe????
