I went to Bill Baggs Cape Florida this morning for a change. It was a fairly
quiet morning visually, but I could hear much more than I saw. Butterflies were
everywhere and many varieties.

I saw Robin Diaz and Liz Golden the park biologist and they told me that
birds are steadily coming through but there haven't been days of with a big fall
out yet.

I just enjoy walking this park. You never know what you will see. Today I
started on my walk and was greeted with a couple of Bobolinks and then was
buzzed by a Coopers Hawk and I startled a Chuck-will's-widow and it swooped down
off a limb hanging over a trail into a hammock area right in front of me. I saw
several rabbits and saw several warbler species.
