A tropical bird — never reported to have graced the Sunflower State — is now calling Kansas home. Mark Nolen, a Wichita resident and Hutchinson Community College biologist professor who has been bird watching since he was around 11, first spotted the tropical parula on Tuesday at the Dillon Nature Center in Hutchinson. The bird has a blue-gray head and yellow-orange underside. It is native to South and Central America, but has been spotted around U.S. states, mostly along the border in Mexico.
