On Saturday I decided to bird Matheson Hammock County Park for my Miami Birding Wave eBird Blitz effort. I tallied 62 species in about six hours of birding, covering the marina, lagoon, picnic area, and tropical hardwood hammock west of Old Cutler Road. I believe that a 70+ species day at this site is very possible, which is great for a suburban park by even world standards.
The biggest highlight was a Hermit Thrush found exactly midway along the narrow forest path (not service road) west of Old Cutler Road. I had it right at an intersection where a side trail spurs off to the north.
There were 12 warbler species scattered throughout the park, including Orange-crowned, Worm-eating, Black-throated Blue, Cape May, and Black-throated Green Warbler as well as several Yellow-throated Vireo.
