Veni, vidi, vici! It took less than a minute to relocate the MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER at Tree Tops Park this morning. Bryant Roberts was there as well, he saw the bird yesterday morning also.
Here again the directions (from the RBA):
Tree Tops Park is located on SW 100th Ave. (aka Nob Hill Rd) between I-595 and Griffin Rd. The address is 3900 SW 100th Ave, Davie, Fla. There is only one main road through this park and it terminates at a large parking lot and administrative building. After passing through the entrance station (no
charge for entry during the week - $1.00 charge on weekends) continue until you reach a paved road on your right leading to a cluster of picnic pavillions
(this is before you reach the administrative building/parking lot). Park at the pavillions and on the opposite side of the road is a mowed area and beyond that there are three equestrian trails leading into a brushy/weedy area. The middle trail is doubled and along this trail is where the bird was found (near the end of the trail). It called frequently and allowed several minutes of study. Eventually it dropped down into the vegetation and was not seen again. To reach this park exit I-95 at I-595 and go west to Nob Hill Rd.(SW 100 Ave). Go
south and the entrance to the park will be on the left (east) side of the road. From Griffin Rd. proceed north on Nob Hill Rd. - the entrance to the park is well marked (K. Rosenberg).
Additional notes:
- Take the second paved road to the right, not the first.
- The "middle trail" (see above) ends in an open area after only about 300ft. This is where the bird was seen.
