I rarely birdwatch at the beach so decided to try it out at Crandon. Got 5 lifers! Saw the following:
White Ibis
Sacred Ibis
Egyptian Geese (2 of them) (counting it as lifer)
Double-Crested Cormorant
Brown Pelican
Black Vulture
Belted Kingfisher
Fish Crow
Mourning Dove
Lesser-Black Backed Gull (lifer)
Laughing Gull
Herring Gull
Ring-Billed Gull
Royal Tern
Sandwich Tern (lifer)
Least Tern (many)
Skimmer
Semipalmated Plover
Piping Plover (lifer)
Black-Bellied Plover (lifer)
Least Sandpiper
Western Sandpiper
Dowitcher (not sure which)
Pectoral Sandpiper
Ruddy Turnstone
Barn Swallow
Boat-Tailed Grackle
Mockingbird
Loggerhead Shrike
Starling
I had never been to Bill Baggs before and wasn't aware of the mangrove nature area near No Name Harbor. Would have added more I am sure if I had seen Kirk's post about that part of the park. In addition to some of the same from above, I added
Common Ground-Dove
Gray Kingbird
Spotted Sandpiper
Sanderling
Prairie Warbler
(for reptile lovers) Did see three species of iguanas and ameivas.
