: Nothing today but the following, which were some of the better birds:
:
: American Kestral
: Sharp-shinned Hawk
: White-winged Parakeet
: White-winged Dove
: Gray Catbird
: My questions are these:
: Does anyone know anything about Blue-gray Tanagers?
: I have not heard of any posts about them. Did they suffer the same fate as the Java Sparrows?
: And, does anyone know anything about the West Indian Mourning Doves in the Keys?
Blue-gray tanagers indeed are long gone from south Florida. They were not too hard to find in the late 1960s in what is now Pinecrest, but I have not heard of any in 30+ years.
