Gray Kingbird in PA! ~ December 13, 2004

Larry Lewis found a new state bird, a Gray Kingbird, at the Shamrock Christmas Tree Farm in Pomeroy, Chester County. After a few hours of searching, several other birders and I got great looks at it.

Gray Kingbird near Pomeroy, Chester County. Note the thick bill, pale breast, forked tail, and dark mask through the eye. This bird represents the 1st documented record for Pennsylvania!
