Hi everyone,
It was a great weekend for me, I had lifers with the Wilson's Phalarope and Yellow-Throated Vireo. Today I went to A.D. Barnes in the morning and saw:
Gnatcatchers
Yellowstart
Red-Eyed Vireos (dozens)
Black and White Warblers (8 or 9 both males and females)
Northern Waterthrush
Ovenbird
Prairie warbler
Cardinals (some good pictures at Flickr...link to follow)
Mockingbirds
Left there, and decided to head towards the Everglades. The fields were quite barren, didn't see a single sandpiper. Saw one Killdeer. Before I got to Lucky Hammock, I saw 2 northern Harriers (Lifer!). One was in the field across the street from Lucky Hammock and one was heading away from going east across a field. I turned into lucky hammock and saw a bunch of common ground doves, and that's about it.
As I left Lucky Hammock and headed towards the Everglades, I saw a Merlin (lifer!) fly off a tree chasing a Swallow. That was the excitement for the day. I went to the Everglades and saw...
Great White Heron (Lifer!)
Tons of Eastern Kingbirds (at least 30)
Crows (don't know if they were fish or american, but they were big...so probably...American? Anyone? Bueller?)
Eastern Bluebirds along Research Rd.
and....
someone must have not wanted a pet anymore...
Found the Green Iguana along Anhinga Trail
