Another interesting pair seen at the north end of the runway yesterday 2 Western Kingbirds! I’ve observed singles along the fence line out there before. Awesome to see the 2. Not sure if I was seeing

Heard a few working the tree tops 2 miles up Little River Airport Road. Last time there was an eruption on the coast, was it fire related or just a lack of food higher up .. Anybody remember?
