tweetsters, we recently spent several days in and around the Brown's Slough,
Jenning's and North Accesses and the dike trail and have seen some unusual
birds. Last Wed. (a week ago) we saw what I thought was a Western Kingbird
except it had some darker markings and since it was on the wing and we
couldn't pin it down we did not report it...probably should have, but it
seemed so unlikely to me.

(In case you're sitting at your computer and would rather be out birding)
Tom left a report on the WOS Birdbox with location details.
