Hi everyone

Just to say a big thank you to everyone who helped me with directions and advice on where to find the above birds on my week's trip to Florida Keys.

Cave Swallow was easy at 216 as predicted.
Antillean Nighthawk at Marathon
white-crowned Pigeon everywhere
Grey Kingbird everywhere
Burrowing Owl at Key Colony. 4 birdson a vacant lot corner of 10th and West Ocean.
Magnificent Frigatebird - regular at Marathon usually in afternoon.
Roseate terns at Marathon Centre and seven mile bridge.

Yellow Warbler could not be found at Card Sound or Saddlebunch Key although there were plenty of mosquitoes for them to eat!

La Sagra's flycatcher at Key West Court failed to appear.

Thank you for helping me get my US list to 489.

I also found Mitered Conure, at least 5 mating and I think breeding in rain chutes off buildings beside The Marriott at South Dadeland.

Best regards from the UK - see you again soon I hope

Graham Langley
