While driving into work this morning, I sighted my FOS dark morph Short-tailed Hawk soaring across W. 12th Avenue at W. 41st St.in Hialeah. A few winter in the Hialeah/Miami Lakes area every year.
Two items I left off of the TAS Sod Farm post was an early Sora west of US 27 in Palm Beach County walking on Swamp Lettuce and a nice flock of Bobolinks near the Black Rail that Brian Rapoza, with GPS coordinates from Will Domke, posted directions to at the top of the Birdboard in the TAS Weekly Rare Bird Update as follows:
Black Rail
US 27, Everglades Agricultural Area, Palm Beach County: Reported August 28 (TAS BirdBoard)
Directions: Several rails were heard, but not seen, in an overgrown field, bordered by sugercane, on the east side of US 27 (GPS coordinates: N26 29.622 W80 39.587). The field is about 1 mile south of a radio tower on the west side of the highway. The radio tower is 14.4 miles north of the Broward/Palm Beach county line or 7.5 miles south of CR 827. A bridge at the radio tower crosses the canal on the east side of US 27; other bridges cross the canal south of the overgrown field.
GPS coordinates were provided by Wil Domke.
Life is good...................great Marlin 1-0 win last night!Going to the Marlin's ballgame tonight and Canes game tomorrow night with son, Nick. Look for a little chin music for National's centerfielder, Nyjer Morgan, for lowering the boom on Marlin catcher, Brett Hayes in the 10th inning. Looked like the Pete Rose/Ray Fosse collision in the 1970 Major League All-Star Game. One difference-Hayes held onto the ball and inspired his teammates with his grit in a walk-off win in the bottom of the 10th! Birds, Brett, Baseball and Beer - a winning combination!
