This afternoon we stopped at Kendall Indian Hammocks before heading home. We birded the hammock and the oak groves along the road for about an hour. As soon as we got of the car we followed the trail of Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and sweet sweet Black-and-white Warblers to a flock that had a few beautiful Yellow-throated, Prairie and Worm-eating Warblers. It was also nice to see some Northern Parula and American Redstart. After we walked the hammocks trail hearing Cardinals throughout. We spotted 2 Ovenbirds and a Hooded Warbler along the way. Soon after we observed a beautiful Red-eyed Vireo foraging, which we always enjoy seeing! Afterwards scanning the trees we were happy to find our target bird a Yellow-throated Vireo. Closeby we also spotted a possible Tennessee Warbler but unfortunately it made a getaway before we could make a positive id.
Getting into the car in the parking lot we ended with a Common Nighthawk. We also bumped into Milo & Dee it was nice to see them and share some birding stories.
