 Hi Folks!
 
I just got a call from Ed Boyd who went to look for the Tropical Kingbird.  The bird did not appear in the usual location by the house.  Ed ran into the landowner, Tom Lilly, who owns the land on the south side of Adler Lane and west of Redding Ferry Road, and got permission for birders in general to enter the land.  On the west side of Redding Ferry and on the south side of Adler Lane are two fields lined with pines.  Walk west on Adler Road to to the second field and look for the path that the deer have made [please do not make any new breaks in the pine row on the south side of Adler Lane].  The Tropical Kingbird and an Eastern Phoebe were favoring the west side of the field.
 
For those who have not been to the site, follow the previous direction to the gray house. Adler Lane is on the west side of Redding Ferry Road and is clearly marked.  There are other landowners who use Adler Lane as a driveway and I spoke with a few of them last week, so they know the reason for the sudden inlflux of "tourists".
 
Good Birding!
 
Jim
