389. Gray Kingbird

Date         November 26, 2025

Location    St. Kitts




We boarded a train that went around most of the island of St. Kitts. The tour guide described what we were seeing. We were served drinks and enjoyed dancers in native dress.

Believe it or not, I was able to identify two birds while on a moving train without binoculars. Well, I had binoculars with me, but they were virtually worthless as the train cars had a habit of violently rocking back and forth. But I am confident I have these correct even with just naked eye views. Again the field guide was very useful, especially with respect to range.

I saw this kingbird fairly early on in the trip, perched on a wire. In fact, my view of it, to the left of the train, looked very much like this picture.
