This was posted on the MOU listserve by Mike Hendrickson a few moments ago.
Mike is a very credible and excellent birder:
Around 11:30am while in my living room I spotted a bird outside my window. I
originally thought Western Kingbird, so I went outside to get a photograph. I
noticed on this bird that is did not have any white outer tail feathers. The
flew back and landed on the wires above my driveway allowing me to snap off
about 5-6 photographs. The bird then flew behind my backyard and so far it has
not returned.I called Kim Ekcert, Don Kienholtz and Peder Svingen who arrived
and are still are looking for the kingbird. They saw my photographs on my
computer and were able to ID it as a Tropical / Couche's Kingbird species. The
bird never called while I observed it. I am now going to look over in Riverside
and then Indian Pt. Campground.Again the bird was seen around 11:30. I live in
Duluth, MNI'll update it as soon as the bird is re-located.Mike Mike

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be
again."
(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
