We started our morning in search of the Townsend's Warbler (thanks for the call RJ) at Kendall Indian Hammock Park. We observed 4 Blue-winged Warbler, more than we have seen at one time. We searched for about an hour & half for the Townsend's with no luck when we bumped into Brian who had been having a great warbler day. Soon after Angel spotted the Townsend's Warbler finally! It was absolutely amazing. We were able to capture some video of it that will post as soon as we upload it into our computer. The park was awesome today we had 16 warbler species without even walking in the trail.
Next we headed off to bird Bill Baggs Cape FL. We saw many of the usual suspects and were able to add a lifer. Swainson's Thrush! We also saw several BTB Warblers, American Redstarts, Northern Parula, Red-eyed Vireo, White-eyed Vireo, Cape May Warbler, Ovenbird and Merlin soaring overhead.
We ate lunch and then drove out to AD Barnes for an hour before sundown. We were able to add a few more warblers to today's list hoping to find the Hooded with no luck. Although we did see Pine Warbler and a Worm-eating Warbler. Two Osprey were circling the park for a while at sundown as well as two Belted Kingfisher calling and circling the lake.
We give thanks to everyone that helped us today.
