Observation details
Seen at some considerable distance from the southeast side into the SP side further to the east. At the top of a dead tree with female Phainopepla near. Upright posture, gray with slightly paler throat, white eye ring, short dark bill. Buffy wing patches visible and prominent in flight, though the angle prevented white outer tail feathers from being seen. Facing me initially furthest away and like the PHAI, kept flying off the tree into a smaller unseen bush behind another tree. Assuming some form of of Mistletoe or other berry in that area, though I did see WEBL eating what looked like a form of elderberry Silent. Just out of reach of my lens for sharp photos but clear enough to show features.
