Tropical Kingbird

Another rare southern kingbird?! This Tropical Kingbird, a first State record, was found at Oyster on the Eastern Shore on Oct 19. It's diagnostic vocalizations were recorded by CVWO's Kiptopeke hawkwatcher Andrew Rapp...the photo here from Oct 21 is by Nancy Barnhart. The heavy-billed structure is similar to the Gray Kingbird on the previous post, though Tropical is brightly yellow underneath.
