Observation details

Did not hear it until I reached the high point bend on the trail at the golf course. It eventually crossed over and landed in a tree on the slope above me. Here 34.140275, -118.288824 It moved around a bit on some bare branches allowing me to move up the small uphill trail until I was close beneath it. It called occasionally. This is almost certainly one of two Thick-billed Kingbirds now wintering in Griffith Park. I decided to go from here directly to the Merry Go Round area, where the possible second bird has been recently seen, approximately half a mile distant. I was there within a half hour and, as I suspected, located a Thick-billed Kingbird in the trees above the picnic tables north of the tennis courts.
