Alex:
Here is a reply I sent to Roberto and Flabirding, since that is where he posted his message. CR846 & CR835 do not intersect. The intersection to which Roberto refers is actually CR835 & CR833. The exact area where these birds were seen is the Deer Fence Canal. The Cassin's Kingbird, if it is the same one, was first found and photographed at this location by Matt Pike on April 15, 2006. It was again found and photographed at the same general location in 2007 by Gary Legates on the 1st STA-5 CBC. It has been seen a few other times since that time. Of course, there is another CAKI very nearby on the western edge of STA-5 that has been returning to that site for several years now, including this year. Gray Kingbirds have been found "late" at this same location at Deer Fence Canal a few times. Charlie Ewell photographed this exact Gray Kingbird two weeks ago when the Caloosa Bird Club had their fieldtrip to STA-5. Other Tyrant flycatchers including several Western Kingbirds and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers are also regulars in this same general vicinity.
