Once upon a time, there lived at Ocean Shores a family of Tropical
Kingbirds. Now I realize there are Twitchers in the audience who have
dipped on this bird and may not find this credible. Nonetheless, life was
good for these lemon yellow lurkers. Fresh water was plentiful and food was
abundant. Then one sad day, Mrs. Kingbird became sick and quickly passed
away. Her obituary began:
