Western Kingbird in Northampton County! ~ October 30, 2005

Arlene Koch called me and asked me to bring my camera down to her place. There, on one of the snags in her backyard, was a Western Kingbird. I took these diagnostic photos of the bird, which represents the 2nd record for Northampton County.

I was glad to add another species to my county list.
