On the morning that I left for San Jose, Wednesday November 9th, I had a
text from Tom telling me about a Thick-billed Kingbird at the Frances
Short Pond. I only had time for a 10 minute stay en route to the
airport. I monitored reports over the weekend and returned to the pond
3:30-4:00 on Monday and 11:00-11:30 on Tuesday without luck. Then on
Wednesday morning, November 16th Zack reported that the bird was still
there.
I stopped at the pond after work without my binoculars and ran into
Brian who had the bird. I had time to go home get my things and returned
to watch the bird for 20 minutes.

Thick-billed Kingbird |
This was another county bird for me; a species that I had only seen previously around Patagonia in the summertime.
