Birds are all over this place, Raptors, Swallows, Warblers it's awesome. Looks like birds are still coming in. Just on the walk from the car to the building we spotted a nice mix of migrants.
Three American Kestrels, two Merlin, one Perigrine several Osprey a Short-tailed Hawk and loads of Barn Swallow with Cliff, Bank, NRW and Cave Swallows mixed in. Warblers were descending from the skies above, I heard the flight calls and Mariel spotted them. They put down south of us along the tree line, we will go look out there later. Several of the Warblers that I was able to look at through the binocs were yellow from the throat through the undertail, Yellow Warblers? Heard lots of other calls that ducked into the trees quickly and were not cooperative. We could hear Ovenbirds, Redstarts, BTB, Parula, and Waterthrush sp. in the trees and some Thrush calls overhead.
Also looking at the radar as of 1:00 p.m. birds are still flying SE into the Miami radar. Here is a link to the radar images we are referring to. Its not much but it is something.
Nature is Awesome
