- Comments: "Maybe two. Started on the west side of the lake, bright yellow chest. Maybe 30 feet away was another kingbird, and the two started interacting, giving trill calls as they flew off south. I couldn't be sure which one (maybe both) were giving the trill call. I think my photos should be able to confirm two, however."
