Western Kingbird

This was just the first recorded instance of what has become an expected fall vagrant in NJ: so expected, in fact, that it has never been a Review List species.

Still a major rarity in Mercer County, though!

This is true, though it's not the only report. There was another in Princeton in 1924.
