Could it be? Am I going to get a Mizzippi Kite in Dade 3 years in a row? No cigar, it's a Swallow-tailed. The excitement lasted about 2 seconds while the bird flew towards me in bad light at a distance. When it turned and came closer, it was evident it was a Swallow-tailed. Always a nice bird, but I already got that for the year. I managed to scrape up 9 warbler species, and I don't even know how since migrants were extremely scarce. Best bird was probably a male Baltimore Oriole. I tried desperately to find a Common Yellowthroat or Parula to hit double-digits in warblers for the first time this fall, but cruel fate just wouldnt' have it. Here's the list in about 1 1/2 hours:
Swallow-tailed Kite (kinda late?)
Yellow-throated Vireo
Red-eyed Vireo (6)
Blue-gray Time-wasters (10)
Cape May Warbler
Black-throated Blue Warbler
Yellow-throated Warbler
Prairie Warbler (3)
Black-and-white Warbler
American Redstart (just one, you gotta be kidding!)
Worm-eating Warbler
Ovenbird (3)
Northern Waterthrush
Baltimore Oriole
