Sorry for the delay in posting this. I wanted to confirm with Dan Orr that it was alright that I share his sighting.
On Sunday he found an apparent Tropical/Couch’s/Gray Kingbird. In my opinion, the photos are not enough to narrow it down since they are only rear views of the bird. It is a large-billed kingbird with a grayish back; the back color indicates Gray, although I see in one of the photos that the head color may be slightly different than the body color. I’m happy to share his photos off-channel with anyone who is interested. Dan shared his sighting in a Facebook group called Minnesota County Listers. Folks tried searching for it several hours today with no luck. Location: Stearns County west of St Martin. Coordinates: 45°30'24.8"N 94°44'41.9"W. Good birding!
