My schedule has not allowed as much birding as I used to do, but I was out near Prospect Reservoir today and had 80+ Western Kingbirds within about a 12 mile loop. I have never seen WEKI gather in such numbers, and it seemed like some type of juvenile dispersal (90% of what I saw were juveniles), with a few places having groups of 10-15 birds visible together. A handful of expected shorebirds, as well as several juvenile Cassin's Sparrows, and a sometimes hard to find (and somewhat unexpected for the grassland habitat) Northern Mockingbird were also seen. The border of Prospect Reservoir also annually hosts nesting Orchard Orioles.
