Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I haven't heard the latest news from Paul O'Brien and Phil Davis, but as far as I know, I was the last person to view the Gray Kingbird. I got to the farm at 12:30pm and met Danny and Barbara Bystrak, Jim Stasz and Tyler Bell viewing the bird. Everyone left by 12:45 and I was left to enjoy the beauty on my own. I watched the bird till 1:20 taking notes and photographs, when the bird flew off North. He looked determined and I doubt that he came back. I then went up to the Visitor Center and looked around the small meadow there because that would be the first open area north of River Farm. I couldn't find the bird and left Phil Davis and Paul O'Brien to hike down the trail looking for it. Thanks to Danny for finding this incredible bird and for showing me all his good yards birds.
