Hello Ohio Birders, I'm following the KI kingbird from a distance but for what it's worth the photos so far seem to suggest a hybrid western x couch's as others have noted. (I'm familiar with both after having lived and birded in California for a few years.) Regarding the issues of transportation to (and from) the Lake Erie Islands: you all have my sympathy. Good luck. Bird on! Dave Horn Columbus, OH Worcester, MA ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
