Mary Jane, I have seen Eastern Kingbirds near Kremmling and near Stagecoach Lake. I do BBS routes over there (Yampa and Buffalo Park), but have not seen them on those. The first Eastern Kingbird I ever got (lifer at the time) was west of Cortez in McElmo Canyon in 1978, so they have been west of the divide for some time.I see them periodically, but it seems very sporadic to me where they show up.
