Hi Sulli

I'm not local but I've just come back from FL and I can reassure you that you will find it hard to miss White-crowned Pigeon in Key West.

If you can get to Marathon you'll find Burrowing Owl at 10th and West Ocean on Key Colony. They are helpfully signed "Owl's nest" on a vacant corner lot.

Grey kingbird is easy too. Look on the wires behind the courtyard on Southard In Key west.

I saw roseates at Key west and also at Marathon. Check this sites excellent finding Florida Specialties section.

Common Myna is actually common too. Try the area around the marina at the first part of Key Biscayne/Crandon Park

The people who report etc on this site are really helpful by the way. I bird all over the world and I got more help from these folk than anyone!

Good Luck Graham
