psquared Posted January 1, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 1, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I think this is a tropical kingbird, which would make it a rare visitor in the California coast. Western and Cassin's kingbirds are more common around here, but the tail is not black (western kingbird) and the head and breast are not that dark gray (Cassin's). From San Joaquin Wildlife Refuge in Irvine, California R9/DMR with 800/5.6 [ATTACH]67784[/ATTACH] Thank you for looking and Happy New Year!
