Walter Wallenstein and I did both Matheson and A.D. Barnes Park today. We were at Matheson Hammock Park from 6:30-10:30AM, identifying the following species:
Brown Pelican: 5
Double-crested Cormorant: 14
Anhinga
Great Egret: 2
White Ibis: 5
Black Vulture: 4
Common Moorhen
Killdeer: 2
Ruddy Turnstone: 8
Eurasian Collared-Dove: 2
Mourning Dove: 12
Chestnut-fronted Macaw
Red-masked Parakeet: 4
Yellow-chevroned Parakeet: 17
Common Nighthawk
Chimney Swift: 9
Red-bellied Woodpecker: 9
Pileated Woodpecker: 2
Gray Kingbird
Black-whiskered Vireo
Blue Jay: 5
Fish Crow
Purple Martin: 3
Northern Mockingbird
European Starling: 17
Hill Myna: 6
Yellow Warbler (Cuban race): 1
Prairie Warbler: 5
Ovenbird
Common Yellowthroat: 3
Northern Cardinal: 21
Common Grackle: 6
Boat-tailed Grackle: 7
For a total of 33 species, including four species of warbler at Matheson with the highlight being a single Yellow Warbler of the Cuban race singing in the mangroves.
At A.D. Barnes, where we spent an hour and a half, we had:
Great Egret
Cooper's Hawk
Common Moorhen
Eurasian Collared-Dove: 8
Mourning Dove: 2
Chimney Swift
Red-bellied Woodpecker: 2
Blue Jay
Fish Crow
Purple Martin
Northern Mockingbird
European Starling: 3
Northern Parula: 5
Black-throated Blue Warbler: 7
Blackpoll Warbler: 10
American Redstart: 17
Northern Cardinal: 5
Boat-tailed Grackle
Higher number of individual warblers than Matheson but same number of species total. Bizarrely, there was no warbler species overlap between the two parks.
