: Yes, I meant P.D. Italia. Sorry. I thought Carolina Chickadees around there were no big thing at Corkscrew at all. He/She was with a small flock of Titmice along the trail just near where the pine forest ends and leads into a more swampy area. This was my first trip into Florida, and I got a great amount of lifers. Most of those were exotics though. Here are all the lifers I got on a 3 week mission to find good specialties and Southern birds that could not be found in my native New Mexico: : Parakeets: : Yellow Chevroned : Red-masked : Red-fronted : Crimson-fronted : Blue-crowned : Dusky-headed : Monk : White-winged : Mitred : Rose-ringed (Collier County) : Black-hooded (Ft. Lauderdale) : White-eyed : Green : Parrots: : Lilac-crowned : Yellow-headed : Yellow-naped : Yellow-crowned : Red-crowned (Ft. Lauderdale) : Blue-fronted : White-fronted : Orange-winged : Mealy : Macaws: : Chestnut-fronted : Blue-and-Yellow : R.W. Bulbul : Spot-breasted Oriole : Hill Myna : Common Myna (True to it's name- very common) : Common Peafowl : Purple Swamphen : Muscovy : Short-tailed Hawk : Snail Kite : Swallow-tailed Kite : Black-shouldered Kite : Brown-headed Nuthatch : Bachman's Sparrow : Red-cockaded Woodpecker : Eastern Towhee : Red-headed Woodpecker : Carolina Wren : Blue-gray Gnatcatcher : Carolina Chickadee : Northern Parula : Eurasian Collard Dove : Common Ground Dove : White-crowned Pigeon : Gray Kingbird : Smooth-billed Ani : Mangrove Cuckoo (No Name Key) : Black-whiskered Vireo : Boat-tailed Grackle- nice to see something other than Great-tailed : Magnificent Frigatebird : Mottled Duck : Fulvous-whistling Duck- weird looking : Purple Gallinule : Anhinga : Limpkin : Wood Stork : Little Blue Heron : Yellow-crowned Night Heron : Reddish Egret : Least Bittern : Tricolored Heron : King Rail : Clapper Rail : Glossy Ibis : White Ibis : Roseate Spoonbill- Eco Pond : Ruddy Turnstone- Tigertail : Willet- Flamingo, Everglades : Least Sandpiper- Tigertail : Sanderling- Matheson Hammock : Snowy Plover- Tigertail : Black-bellied Plover- Tigertail : Semipalmated Plover-Tigertail : Wilson's Plover- Tigertail : American Oystercatcher : Laughing Gull : Lesser-black-backed Gull juvenile- Crandon Park : Least Tern : Royal Tern : Sandwich Tern : Dry Tortugas: : Brown Booby : Masked Booby : Northern Gannet (looked sick) : Roseate Tern : Brown Noddy : Sooty Tern : Briddled Tern : small brownish flycatcher species : Cory's Shearwater : Audubon's Shearwater : Wilson's Storm-petrel : phalarope species : Excellant life birds. I got 92 life birds but I may have missed a few I just mentioned. Some of these lifers are probably no big deal to those who live here, but this was my first trip into the east in 15 years, and I have not been biring that long. This trip was well worth the multi-thousand expence on my check-book. : added subspecies: : Florida Sandhill Crane : Florida Red-shouldered Hawk : Cuban Yellow Warbler : West Indian Osprey : Side trip to Abaco, Bahamas for 2 days: : La Sagra's Flycatcher : Zenaida Dove : Yellow-throated Warbler : Western Spindalis : Shiny Cowbird : Bahama Swallow : Bahamas Mockingbird : Antillian Nighthawk : Yellow-faced Grassquit : Black-faced Grassquit : Bananaquit : Hairy Woodpecker : Bahama Woodstar :
