The overnight west winds brought birds into Bill Baggs Cape Florida SP. Inside the park there was a definite movement of birds from east to west around 10 AM so I assume these were birds that had been pushed offshore earlier in the morning and they were making their way back to land.
Other than Barn Swallows, Gray Kingbirds and a Purple Martin, the migrants this morning were warblers. I had 14 warbler species and most were expected Caribbean migrants. A surprise (for this park) was a male Black-throated Green Warbler at the north end of the Nature Trail. A male Bay-breasted Warbler was the only trans-Gulf migrant and he was in a large Strangler Fig next to the paved bike path, north of Harbor Road. Late yesterday, Nico Salino and I watched an adult male Bay-breasted in Key Biscayne but this morning's bird was lightly marked.
