Thanks for the report Brian. I was one of the photographers there today, and I can add a few additional birds to your sightings.
Wilson's Snipe - 1 - in the sawgrass to the east of the parking lot right around dawn
Yellow-throated Warbler - 1 - gorgeous male in the Sabal Palm to the south of the visitors center around the benches
Lots of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, Yellow-rumped Warblers, Eastern Phoebes, and a White-eyed Vireo about a half-mile down the trail. Also, Red-shouldered Hawks are once again nesting in the tallest Sabal Palm around the visitors center. Both male and female were busy bringing in nest material this morning.
