I returned to Kenilworth Aquatic Garden about 11:30 and was on the Western Kingbird for over an hour.  At first, it was mostly in the bare tree to the left of the boardwalk just before you get to the main observation deck.  Then it flew to my right across the channel to a larger bare tree and was there for a few minutes.  Then disappeared just before Steve Hersey arrived about 12:45.  But it reappeared long enough for Steve to get a good look and a picture which he will post when he gets a chance.  It disappeared again about 1:05 and I didn't see it again before leaving at 1:30.

Description:  bright yellow belly, black tail with white sides (more visible when it was sallying out), pale gray to whitish upper breast and  throat contrasting with slightly darker gray head and with the appearance of a dark line connecting eye to bill.
