ROTENBERGER / HOLELY LAND 09/24/2007
Up at 04:30 a.m. On the paved part of the Rotenberger / Holely Land Road off US 27 well before daylight. I crawled the car along the high road at a very low speed, following the track all the way to Rodgers Road, then cut west to 835, south to the Alley, east to 27, north to Rotenberger / Holely Land again, then back to Fort Lauderdale, home at 4:30 p.m.
It was a slow day but, it would have been much better it I could differentiate between the several species of frustrating /confusing warbler and swift /swallow variants I saw.
