: I knew they were pretty hard to find in Summer here but I had 2 RTHs in Arch Creek near Enchanted Forest last summer around the Fourth of July. They were around the nature center feeding on flowers. They were both females, but now that I think of it, maybe one of the females was actually a juvenile. Just a farfetched thought but likely.
That is very interesting. I have always hoped
that they would become regular breeders here in
Miami-Dade County like Chimney Swfts did 20+ years ago. We must all start to keep out a sharper eye for them next summer.
