I also saw the WESTERN KINGBIRD about 2:15 this afternoon.  
When I failed to find it along the gravel road leading to the Visitor 
Center, I continued on down the paved road toward the historic 
site.  Before the sharp turn to the left, the kingbird flew over 
the road (going from east to west) with a small flock of bluebirds. 
The flock landed in a tree on the far side of the field (which 
turned out to be in the row of trees to the south of the gravel 
drive), but before I could get the scope on them, the birds flew off.

Congratulations, George, on #304!

Other noteworthy birds at the refuge included 3 DUNLIN and a COMMON 
TERN on the mud by the bridge to the island, several BROWN-HEADED 
NUTHATCHES and a YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER on the Duck 
Inn trail, and an EASTERN PHOEBE in the pines by the Visitor Center.
