I went out and birded my yard this morning after seeing a Brown-headed Cowbird and a Painted Bunting at the bird feeder and hearing a Black-whiskered Vireo singing out back. I figured that might be a good omen and it payed off. To my surprise, there were quite a few Warblers spotted (compared to the last few weeks) and some new sightings. TAS, thanks again for a really great end of the season Field Trip yesterday to N. Key Largo. The Clapper Rails (I saw another fly across the road) and the Bahamian Mocker in Pennecamp.
