I stopped by Green Cay this afternoon about 1:00 and a few purple martins were ensconced in their bungalows by the cross over boardwalk. There were plus or minus ten of the cunning little devils. There were a few tree swallows zooming around as well. Also some yellow - rumped warblers and of course all the usual stuff, limpkins, snowies, great blues, mottled ducks, blue wing teal, glossy and white ibis,'gators, Carolina anoles, turtles etc. Are we jaded or what? The common stuff at an urban park in South Florida is better than most other places in U.S. when those locations are having a really good day.

I also picked off a banded water snake.

By the way I spoke to Eva who works at the park and she reconfirmed the wood storks were the perpetrators in the baby limpkin's demise.
