Confirm Couch's kingbird


Recommended Posts

I saw this bird last week in Round Rock, Texas , near Austin. I had a very similar bird identified as Couch's. This one was taken a few days later, at a different location, but also seems to fit the description for Couch's.

Yes - one differentiating feature when compared to the Western Kingbird is that the yellow breast coloring comes up and over the throat area on the Couch's while the Western has a grayish throat and upper breast area. These two birds can be found in the same South Texas areas.
