Cape May Warbler (many in ficus)
Orange-crowned Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler (many in ficus)
Black & White Warbler
Common Yellowthroat Warbler

An immature Cooper's Hawk put on a comical show (not for the squirrel) as it kept flying around a Sabal Palm trying to catch a Gray Squirrel. After about ten minutes of the hunt, the hawk gave up.
Several Peregrine Falcons and Merlins were at Crandon Park observed along the Osprey Nature Trail.
