Dan P Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Taken 11-27-2020 in the afternoon at North Atwater Park, Atwater Village, CA -- above the Los Angeles River. Is this a Kingbird? Cassin's or Western? If so, is the orange/rust coloring unusual, or no? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan P Posted November 28, 2020 Author Share Posted November 28, 2020 Ha! That's a first for me. I had been wanting to see a Say's Phoebe, and when I did, I didn't know what it was. Thanks DLecy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Cassin's and Westerns would show yellow underneath, not peach. But I'm pretty sure all North American kingbirds are gone for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, Couch's and Tropical Kingbirds are residents in south Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
