Today, I went over to Castellow Hammock after my time at the gym and before class. I suddenly decided that I *needed* to see hummingbirds, and, apparently, this is the best spot to see them guaranteed. I was not disappointed, as I found three Ruby-throated Hummingbirds (2 m, 1 f) feeding in the firebushes in front of the nature center and along the edge of the hardwood hammock. Other birds seen before walking the nature trail include Yellow-throated Vireo, White-eyed Vireo, Red-eyed Vireo, and many White-winged Dove. Inside the hammock, migrants were not very numerous or at least not very obvious. Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and Northern Parula made up the bulk of the numbers, with ones or twos of American Redstart, Ovenbird, Great Crested Flycatcher, and Brown Thrasher mixed in.

White-winged Dove (12)
Ruby-throated Hummingbird (3)
Great Crested Flycatcher (1)
