I got an email yesterday saying the Gnatcatchers had left Key Biscayne. I had noticed that their numbers seemed down last week (from the 100s that wintered). I checked my neighborhood this morning, and they all seem to be gone now. Unless I find some stragglers, this is the earliest I've seen them leave. They should return about August 15.
