Happy New Year ,
Had a good weekend birding !
I arrived at the kingbird location about 12:00 and 
everyone had their scopes already  on it. i got to see it through 
many scopes . bird was very cooperative. at one 
time  it came out 
of the yard and did a circle 
around us . at about 1:15 the bird flew past us and 
the owner of the house who was taking some pics
also and it disappeared . we all left to go get ready for 
our new years parties. it was very nice 
 to get to meet and hang with other birders.
 i  was wondering if anyone seen it 
monday or tuesday because of the winds being about 
50 miles per hour  in that area.
