Yellow-billed Cuckoos were around both keys in good numbers yesterday (Thursday) and Blackpoll Warblers were in Cape Florida and Bear Cut. Some firsts (for us) are showing up: Eastern Phoebe, House Wren (Michelle had it this morning), Summer Tanager, Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Gray Catbird. I heard a Downy Woodpecker in Cape Florida and saw another one along Arthur Lamb, Jr. Road -- a good species for these barrier islands. Falcons are around in good numbers, with a combination of 2 American Kestrels, 3 Peregrines and 9 Merlins for the 2 locations. In Cape Florida, a Connecticut Warbler showed up yesterday (unusual in fall) and 4 Swainson's Warblers, today. Swainson's Thrushes were overhead early both mornings and several were around the park today.
