smattering of migrants in the west

: I had things to do today but saw this morning on the Miami radar a decent flight of migrants crossing the coast and presumably landing between Cape Sable and a bit north of Ft Myers. So I went birding instead. : Checked a roadside cypress strand, the boardwalk at Fakkahatchee, and Collier-Seminole S.P. The last was buggy so I didn't get as much time to look as I wanted. There were no huge concentrations but migrants were here and there in small flocks everywhere I went. The highlight was probably seeing a northern parula feeding a fledgling next to a Cape May warbler that is still a thousand miles away from its breeding grounds. : Migrants: : ruby-throated hummingbird-1 : gray catbird-100's : Cape May warbler-6 : yellow-throated warbler-1 : prairie warbler-2 : western palm warbler-15 : blackpoll warbler-1 : black & white warbler-5 : American redstart-1 : worm-eating warbler-1 : northern waterthrush-1 : common yellowthroat-1 : hooded warbler-1 : breeders carrying on in the cypress strands: : red-shouldered hawk : mourning dove : red-bellied woodpecker : pileated woodpecker : downy woodpecker : great crested flycatcher-they're sure wound up right now! : tufted titmouse : carolina wren : blue-gray gnatcatcher : white-eyed vireo : red-eyed vireo : northern parula-LOTS! : northern cardinal : cheers! : Michelle
