Note: Sara Zagorski provided this guidance based on observing the
Western Kingbird on Saturday: "Tina and I were at Seaside Park
yesterday from 12 noon on, and the bird appeared at 3:45 pm. Scope
from the park about 3 or 4 benches from the white abchor. The bird
first appeared way to the right, so you need a wide view to pick it
up."
