Here are my previous records of Western Kingbird at Marymoor:

1 on the 12-May-94
1 on the 27-Apr-95
2 on the 06-May-99

Adding in Hugh's sighting of 2 on the 21-May-99, it seems that WEKI are
possible in a fairly broad window centered in the second week of May.

Looking in Eugene Hunn's 1982 "Birding in Seattle and King County", he shows
WEKI in the county from late April through early September. He states "...the
Western Kingbird is frequently recorded in King County as a vagrant, including
a number of recent records at the Montlake Fill and Discovery Park in Seattle".
Have there been recent (last 20 years) sightings of WEKI in King County during
the summer (June, July, August)?
