Fourteen great participants joined me for today's walk in Bill Baggs Cape Florida SP. Passerine numbers were low but we scored on raptors, accumulating 10 species. Passerine highlights: Baltimore Oriole, White-eyed Vireo, White-crowned Pigeons (5 in a flock plus a single), 6 warbler species, Great Crested Flycatcher and lots of Gray Catbirds. We watched a flock of 8 Great Egrets elegantly fly south -- true migration in action.
Raptors (most were multiples):
Black Vulture
Turkey Vulture
Osprey
Northern Harrier
Sharp-shinned Hawk
Cooper's Hawk
Short-tailed Hawk (light-morph)
American Kestrel
Merlin
Peregrine Falcon
[A Blue Jay pretended to be a Red-shouldered Hawk but we didn't fall for it.]
Thank you very much to all participants.
