A possible Tropical/Couch's Kingbird was observed for about an hour late Sunday afternoon (6 June) in Grand Marais by an out of state birder. News of this potential first state record did not reach the birding community until Sunday evening. Extensive searching throughout the day on Monday was unsuccessful. Observers along the North Shore may wish to keep this possibility in mind over the next several days. It was originally found in a large clearing about 150 yards up the Sweetheart Bluff Nature Trail, which begins at the west end of the Grand Marais Tourist Campground.
