Steve Heinl called yesterday with a rare bird alert for Ketchikan: a
TROPICAL KINGBIRD in the downtown area. I'm going into town today; may get
lucky.

Also, had a little excitement here at Herring Cove a few days ago: a MERLIN
tried to nab a BLACK TURNSTONE. Both birds were briefly in the water,
struggling. The TURNSTONE escaped. Great drama!
