Seward, Alaska
The WESTERN KINGBIRD in Seward is still here as of 10 am today,
hunting insects from the chain link fence surrounding the ballfields
and playground at the intersection of Ballaine and Fourth Avenue. Also watch for it perched on the power lines.
Look for a bird smaller than a robin perched in the open with a lemon
yellow belly, gray back, and black tail. The white outer tail feathers are hard to see because they are worn.
This is the species that ignited Kenn Kaufman's career as a birder, "Kingbird Highway: The Story of a Natural Obsession That Got a Little Out of Hand."
Good luck!
Happy Birding!
