I dreamed about Western Kingbirds about a week ago. In my dream I consciously thought, "Oh, that's the first one of the season!" The funny thing about it was that I ascribed the name to what I saw despite the fact that it didn't have a yellow belly or any of the other characteristics which say "Western Kingbird" to me when I am awake.

Go figure. Let birding take me where it will during my slumbering hours.
