This just in from Rob Hilton. Don and Carol Broderick heard the call this
morning and the verdict is: Tropical Kingbird. The Brodericks, Jim Stasz and
Hans Holbrook have seen the bird this morning and Rob is looking. Jim says
the bill looks like that of a Tropical.
The bird in question is in Somerset County south of Salisbury, Delorme page
33, C5, along Reading Ferry Rd, 1/2 to 3/4 mile north of the intersection with
Polks Rd. Originally the bird was working the trees and wires on the east
side of the road just beyond a fenced yard containing many chickens. Today Rob
said it was near a private drive called Adler's Rest Lane.
If you go there be sure to stay on the road. No intrusions on private
property, please!
