Many were thrilled by this Tropical Kingbird that spent almost two weeks in Stanwood, Snohomish, in the yard of Donna Kish, one of the nicest and most accommodating hosts possible.  Left photo by Diane Yorgason-Quinn (note the red spot on the top of the head).  Right photo by Ruth Sullivan.  Both photos, 11/23/2001.
