Cassin's Kingbird

I've been reading on the Central Valley Bird group mail list about the first Cassin's Kingbird ever spotted in Yolo County.  It has been hanging out at the intersection of CRs 27 & 88 for over a week.  When I got there I couldn't find the bird, but found lots of ineresting things to take pictures of.  As I was leaving, I saw a couple people looking at a bird the top of a power pole.  I carefully made my way over and it was the kingbird.  Here are some pictures.  Click on the pictures to make them larger.
