I started out the morning on SW 192nd Ave. checking out the hammock south of the intersection of SW 392nd street and north of the everglades alligator farm. I have meant to check out this location for a while as it looks good and it didn't disappoint. I had the following:
Bell's Vireo (1), great view and singing right when I got there
Blue-headed Vireo (1)
Black-whiskered Vireo (2)
Swainson's Warbler (1)
Black-and-white Warbler (3)
Magnolia Warbler (2)
N. Parula (8)
Black-throated Green Warbler (2)
Black-throated Blue Warbler (5)
American Redstart (7)
Common Yellowthroat (8)
Ovenbird (1)
N. Waterthrush (1)
Palm Warbler (1)
Cape May Warbler (2)
Hooded Warbler (1)
Prairie Warbler (2)
There was also some good local stuff including numerous White-crowned Pigeon, Barred Owl, Pileated Woodpecker, Carolina Wren.
On the drive into ENP, I saw several Barn Swallows and a couple Common Nighthawks.
At Royal Palm, I added a nice male Yellow Warbler in the parking lot. On Gumbo Limbo I added Swainson's Thrush and a singing Tennessee Warbler which was surprisingly low to the ground. There was also a Gray Kingbird hawking dragonflies at the small pond.
For good measure, I went to Long Pine Key to pick up Pine Warbler and bring the warbler total to 17. Not a ton of birds, but a good day all in all.
