Observation details
Mike and I originally believed this bird to be a Tropical Kingbird based on what we thought was a long bill. Kingbird with gray head, darker mask, pale throat, and bright yellow coloring from undertail to breast. Forked tail. Back appeared mostly gray in the lighting we had. The bird was actively patrolling from the tops of deciduous and evergreen trees, and would not stay still for long. It did not vocalize. However, a few hours later Tom Feild and Mikey Lutmerding were able to hear and record calls and songs, and it was determined that this was a Couch's. First state record! Here are some of Mike Welch's photos:
