I went to Sadowski this morning and walked the property. I only heard a few
: birds while there other than the 100-150 Turkey and Black Vultures that roost there.
: I heard a couple of buntings, a Common Yellow Throat, Cardinal, Blue Jay and
: Monk Parakeets as they flew over. There wasn't much in the way of fruit on the
: trees or shrubs. I assume that may have something to do with the lack of birds.
Other than that I only saw little critters.
I forgot that as I was leaving I saw 3 Myrtle Warblers in the Bottle Brush
: near the west entrance.
I wish I had time to visit Cape Florida, Robin seems to be having good luck
: finding migrants.
I decided to head to Cutler Wetlands for a quick look. I saw several hundred
: Laughing Gulls, 6 Lesser Black Backed Gulls, 2 Herring Gulls,1 Franklin Gull,
: Belted Kingfisher, 6 Shoveler and 4 Blue-wing Teal just be the local Bald Eagle
: showed up.
I also saw Red-wing BBs, Starlings, GBH, egrets and a Tri-colored Heron.

Trey:
Your dragonflies are 1) Halloween Pennant and 2) Regal Darner (jevenile, female, I believe). The latter is one of the largest dragonflies in North America. Not sure of your other "bug" possibly a midge? Will have to research that one.
Please give me directions to the so-called Cutler Wetlands. Of course I've heard you guys talk about it but I've never been there and since a few of us will be coming over to your neck of the woods on Saturday i.e. Lucky Hammock, ENP, etc. I'd like to check out Cutler Wetlands. Thanks Trey. . . .
