: Hey birders, today I searched my backyard and I hope to keep doing that in this long weekend. I found a Red-eyed Vireo in my ficus tree. It was easily identified by its blueish head. Also found a Northern Parula and a Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Yesterday I saw a Black-and-white warbler. Great birding!
: P.S. Hey thats an incredible AMOUNT of Worm-eating warblers. I thought Worm-eating warblers were uncommon.
So did I at first, But actually in the inside of tropical hardwood hammocks they can be common and easy to find. Many times I've found them when they forage in dead leaves that are still on shrubs in the understory. Also I've found one wintering in the hammock at Viscaya several times in the last 11 years. Neat little bird.
