<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>7/4/2015<BR> <BR>Karol Gresser and I were treated to a great show by the Tropical Kingbird this evening. We were able to observe the bird from 6:36 to 7:30 PM. The Tropical Kingbird spent most of the time in the large Cottonwood tree to the Northeast of trail markers number 36. We observed it catch at least a dozen insects. In between catching insects, it spent a lot of time preening. On a couple occasions it also landed in the leafless tree right next to the trail for some up close looks.<BR> <BR>Craig Mandel<BR>Minnetonka, Hennepin County<BR><a href="mailto:EgretCMan@msn.com">EgretCMan@msn.com</a><BR> </div></body>
