I did the sod farm route this morning after a stop at STA-5. Athough a Great White Heron is there, I did not see it. Only a couple of Mottled, and a few Fulvous Whistling Ducks around. Some shorebirds, but really vey few. Egrets, Anhingas and juvenile Moorhens and Swamp Hens were the predominant birds.
I found only one flooded field on the sodfarm route, and that was the one on CR 880 east of Duda, where we had the Wilson's Phalarope last year. It has just scattered puddles. Yellowlegs, Least Sandpipers most numerous, but all pretty much at scope range. Lots of lovely sod on 880 and Roth Farm Rd, but the birds seem to all be in South Dade.
The best bird of the day was a Semipalmated Plover which was calling. Not something I have heard very often.
