Went with another birder yesterday to Dump Marsh late afternoon yesterday in hopes of seeing nighthawks and owls. There were other birders there also in search of lesser nighthawks (some came all the way from Orlando) but "no cigar". As nocturnal as we got was a Black-Crowned Night-Heron. My friend did see his first Tropical Kingbird so it was still a good time. Saw the following (including a brief stop to Cutler Wetlands) from 4:30 PM through 6:30 PM:
Pied-Billed Grebe
DC Cormorant
Great Blue Heron
Great Egret
Snowy Egret
Little Blue Heron
Tricolored Heron
