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!
