This morning I was disappointed during my Cape Florida survey until I hit the lighthouse area. Bingo! At 9:30 I found a concentrated flock of ~70 warblers frantically feeding, most very low in the vegetation. From the manner of foraging and tightness of the flock, I deduced that they had recently arrived. After 30 minutes the flock dispersed a bit, foraging more deliberately and higher in the trees. A few Prairies and Northern Parulas started singing. The make-up of the flock was ~33 Prairie, 15 Palm, 9 Worm-eating, 4 American Redstart, 3 Northern Parula and 1 Northern Waterthrush. I added more of same warbler species as I moved through the park, but aside from 3 Merlins, it was ho-hum. After yesterday s bleak results, it was great to see signs of migration.
