: Some of the interesting birds in W. Kendall were
: still present this week at two sites.
: Site #1: Black Creek Canal, W of the Kendall-Tamiami Airport
: Evidently, you can get there by driving along the S
: border of the airport, and then N along the canal.
: (I haven't tried this. I just walk from home.)
: Up to 6 Scissor-tailed Flycatchers on the E perimeter fence.
: A Least Flycatcher, 3 Wilson's Warblers,
: and a Yellow Warbler (new this week) were seen
: in the trees across the canal near the NW corner
: of the airport.
: Site #2: Railroad tracks near Krome Ave.
: Drive S on Krome from Kendall Dr. for a bit less
: than 2 miles, until you get to the C-1W canal.
: Turn W along the S side of the canal and park near
: the railroad tracks (do not block road). The birds
: have been seen within 200 yards N and S of the
: canal, along the tracks.
: 2 Dickcissels, 4 Blue Grosbeaks, 1 Wilson's Warbler,
: 1 White-crowned Sparrow (immature, new this week),
: Indigo and Painted Buntings have all been seen
: this week.
