Hi tweets,
Despite the weather being less than ideal the Tropical Kingbird was located early in the afternoon, around 1pm or so I think along the willows of Lk. Minard near the Tonquin ave bridge on the Marine View Dr. side. The weather stopped raining briefly while I viewed it but the bird never left its perch during the 5 or so minutes I watched so, probably hunkered down for the weather.
Also of interest to watch was a group of 3 River Otters under this bridge fishing and interacting with each other.
Glad to finally get this jinx bird off of my back! This was the seventh time for me trying in Washington, persistence pays off eventually...
