Yes as John said the Mangrove Cuckoo have started to show up in the Key Largo area. I spotted 2 this weekend in the mangrove areas around my house in Key Largo. one right behind the house and the other in an area only reachable by boat. Its a great area for kayaking. Tonight though i herd a chuck-will's widow just after dark. This is the first time I have herd one ever in the Keys at all. I know they do occur down here but on rare occasion. This one was with in 50 foot of the house. I have also noticed a few other migratory birds in the area. I almost forgot about the group of black necked stilts around 30 that flew by the boat yesterday.
