Western Kingbird, Red Headed Woodpecker

 There were reports of a continuing Western Kingbird at the Jones West End turnaround so I went over and was aided by another birder, Mike V, who directed me to the bird - got decent looks at it.  Other birders were in the area looking for a Evening Grosbeak that was reported a day earlier but apparently was not refound.  Looking at the e-bird report from the day before it seemed to have flown out over the dunes.  I told a few of the birders looking for it about that.  There were also reports of a long continuing juvenile Red Headed Woodpecker at Sunken Meadow so I went over and found it quickly at it's spot by the bridge by the march/ parking lot.  I wasted some time checking for a likely Ash Throated Flycatcher that was reported the day before but didn't see it.  Although I saw some cool birds, it wasn't the big day I was hoping for.
