Here are photos of the Fork-tailed Flycatcher near Cockroach Bay Preserve (seen this afternoon around 5:30pm). Thanks to Charlie Fisher for relocating it! This bird is about a half mile or less away from where Cameron Cox found the Tropical Kingbird last June.

The bird was seen a little further east than the original post from 1/18/12.
>From US-41 turn to the west onto Cockroach Bay Rd (there is a Circle K on US 41 here). Drive 2 miles, then turn right (North) onto Gulf City Rd.
Drive 1.6 miles then turn right (South) onto Lost River Trail (will have a No Outlet sign).
Drive .3 miles to where the street makes a 90 degree turn to the left. There is a pullout here. The bird was in the shrubs on the East side of the street by a pond.(original post).

To go to where it was seen today, turn east where it makes the sharp turn, and go a little farther to where there is a cul-de-sac on the left (north side) of the road. There is a large, dead, twiggy tree near the cul-de-sac. It was actively flycatching there.
