[Maine-birds] Western Kingbird-Hills Beach, Biddeford on 11/13

Ellen and I found a very active Western Kingbird at the intersection of Sky Harbor Road and Hills Beach Road in Biddeford...presumablly the same bird previously reported in the identical place.  Over the past week I had spent many fruitless hours searching for this bird here and at Biddeford Pool.  Today it was easy!  It was actively feeding all over the place...sometimes returning to the same perch, other times flying out of sight but then returning to repeat a game of now you see me, now you don't..  The bird has a  light gray head and back, white chin and cheek patch, dark mask line, black tail with white outer feather, yellow wash on belly.  Lacks any terminal white on central retricies.
