Subject: [BRDBRAIN] A Gray Kingbird Travels to The North





Of possible interest to Florida birders, is the fact that a Gray Kingbird showed up at Leadingham Prairie Preserve in Clark County, Ohio this past Wednesday morning. This is significant in being the first state record of Gray Kingbird for Ohio. My wife Denise and I had the pleasure of viewing the bird for a couple of hours on Thursday. Apparently, or obviously, the tropical celebrity arrived here from the gulf coast with the help of Hurricane Michael. Seen by many birders during the past three days, it is still being reported this morning, Saturday. With the Ohio evening temperatures now being down in the thirties, hopefully this misplaced bird of southern climates, decides to head back south with a winter Caribbean destination.
