Nancy Freedman and I birded the keys from sunrise to sunset, ending up with 1813 individuals in 69 taxa (not to mention a number of mystery warblers and a possible Barred Owl on Key Largo).
Highlights included 12 warbler species, a Blue Grosbeak at Carysfort Circle, and a V of Glossy Ibis high over the keys on their way south. As usual, Double-crested Cormorant was the most numerous bird.
