2010-05-25 Thread Shawn Conrad
At 12:20, I found a Western Kingbird on the east side of the ballfields at Park Point. It was hanging around the loose clump of trees near the bigger elm along the road. Unfortunately, the large group of birders who were on the point enjoying the warblers had largely dispersed by that time, so I
