Greg just called to say he is looking at an Ashy Drongo in a mesquite at Ain al Fayda. He is without camera. The Drongo is in the area of
24.092359° 55.715744°. It is on the north side of the trees/brush between the ladies park and the roundabout.

I unfortunately didn't have my camera with me at the time; however, I was able to snap a few (blurry) shots with my cell phone. The first is of the bird seen within a mesquite bush, and the second is of the bird 50 yards further back in the park on the outside of the mesquite. Definitely Ashy, though...red iris, no rictal spot, blackish-brown upperparts (slightly glossy) and tail, lighter, grayish underparts. I hope it sticks around so I can attempt some better pictures.
Good luck,
Greg
