RFI: Tropical Kingbird

[Paul Hurtado]

Hi all,

I know it's a long shot, but I'll be in Denver this Saturday morning en route to my 20th(!?) high school reunion down in Pueblo, and would love to see that TROPICAL KINGBIRD (it's pretty rare for me to pick up new ABA birds in CO since I've moved out of state!). 

So, while it seems to have moved on, I'd very much appreciate hearing from anyone who goes looking for the bird.

Thanks!

Hello Paul,

 I *think* I may have briefly seen the Tropical Kingbird today. I saw the bird sitting on a wire just as I pulled into the entrance and parked in front of the sign for South Platte Park. It was a couple of wires below below several European Starlings. It was marginally larger than them, and had a long bill. It flew downward before I could get a photo. I stayed around the area for about 20 minutes and it didn't return. I checked all around the RPM building, and down the road just to the curve (where there are lots of Lesser Goldfinches).

 I can't be sure if I saw it, but if it's not too out of your way to Pueblo you could try to see it.
