Yesterday, 01/30/2011, Jose Padilla and I birded parts of the Big Cypress National Preserve and the Fakahatchee Strand here in Collier County. Our best birds were a Summer Tanager, Orange-crowned Warbler and Northern Waterthrush at the Big Cypress Bend Boardwalk in the Fakahatchee Strand State Park Preserve. The SUTA & OCWA were both Collier County Big Year birds for me. We also saw a light morph Short-tailed Hawk at the junction of SR29 & US Rte. 41. We dipped on the Yellow-breasted Chat at Chokoloskee (2nd time for me) but found consolation in Painted & Indigo Buntings at the Smallwood Store as well as the usual flock of American White Pelicans in Chokoloskee Bay near the store. No love on the King Rails in the Ten Thousand Islands NWR and missed (again) on the Painted Buntings near the Big Cypress National Preserve Headquarters. Where are the PUMAs?. Still a good morning birding in Collier County.
