Anyone seen it/been there?
Thanks,

from B. Rapoza on 2/2/3:
I discovered this afternoon that Government Road (CR 833)in Hendry County
has now been reopened, allowing me to visit the wintering Vermilion
Flycatcher. I found it in its usual spot, on a fence post behind the
gate. Three Western Kingbirds were on the wires nearby.
For those unfamiliar with this location, the gate in question is on the
west side of the road, about 14 miles north of Government Road's southern
terminus at I-75. From the north, it's less than a mile south of the Big
Cypress Seminole Reservation.
