: I went for an after-work walk through Miami Metrozoo this afternoon. Not expecting to see much more than the usual Bali Mynas, Mindanao Bleeeding Heart Pigeons, and Andean Condors, I was surprised to tally all of the following: : Pied-billed Grebe : Double-crested Cormorant : Great Blue Heron : Great Egret : Snowy Egret : Tricolored Heron : Cattle Egret : Black-crowned Night Heron : White Ibis : Wood Stork : Black Vulture : Osprey : Common Moorhen : American Coot : Ring-billed Gull : Eurasian Collared Dove : Mourning Dove : Black-hooded Parakeet (8) : Ruby-throated Hummingbird : Red-bellied Woodpecker : Yellow-bellied Sapsucker : Blue Jay : Blue-Gray Gnatcatcher : Northern Mockingbird : European Starling : Northern Parula (many) : Black-throated Blue Warbler : Yellow-rumped Warbler : Palm Warbler : American Redstart : Northern Cardinal : Boat-tailed Glackle : Baltimore Oriole : House Sparrow : If you bird the zoo, try not to get run over by the Safari Cycles, the latest Metrozoo innovation. : : Finally, at a gas station at the intersection of SW 152 Street and SW 137 Avenue, I saw a pair of Common Mynas. I checked carefully to make sure they were not Hill Mynas. ;)
