Tropical Kingbirds often head north in post-breeding dispersal before
heading south for the winter. It's normal. They are rare, of course, but not
so rare as to grab a lot of attention; most birders have seen one outside
their range. There's one up in Humboldt/Trinity/Del Norte County right now
(I forget which).
