After searching for well over an hour with Fred Fallon, and Harvey & Mary Mudd, we headed home without finding the Gray Kingbird. About an hour before we arrived the bird had flown north and had not been relocated. On our way out, Phil Davis, Matt Hafner, and Paul O'Brien were neading back out. Perhaps they had better luck. On the way I home, I looked at every bird. Another on got away.
