Observation details
Alvaro Jaramillo found this rarity this morning. Special thanks to Karen Pinckard, Keith Gress & Cedrik von Briel who pointed out the kingbird to me in a grove of Monterey Cypress along the road. Note the distinctive white tip to the tail. Eastern Kingbirds are scarce migrants to coastal California but there are breeding records in extreme NE California. They are long distance migrants with virtually the entire population wintering in the western Amazon Basin. Unlike most songbirds, kingbirds frequently migrate during the day.
