There are two Western type Kingbirds at Avalonia preserve at the previously reported location. I was watching one bird when the second flew in and interacted briefly with it. For a couple minutes they were about 20 yards apart. The second bird looked slightly larger and chunkier. When perched in a low branch it appeared to have a dark, almost black tail with white outer feathers. Cloudy conditions making it difficult to see details well.
