I birded the area just outside of the Everglades NP entrance (Florida City) with Carlos Sanchez this morning. We had the following migrants.

Throughout the day Barn Swallows were streaming south.

At the Annex in terms of passerines we had:
Orchard Oriole (1), Red-eyed Vireo (2), several Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, American Redstart (1), Louisiana Waterthrush (1), Prairie Warbler (2)

We also located 3 Solitary Sandpiper in the wetlands surrounding the canal that is being constructed from Lucky Hammock in addition to a flock of 15 or so Least Sandpiper.

We added Spotted Sandpiper and another Least Sandpiper in field north of 9336 between SW 222nd Ave. and SW 217th Ave. In the field to the east of the C-111e canal, we found 6 Pectoral Sandpiper, 3 Solitary Sandpipers, 1 Lesser Yellowlegs, and several more Least Sandpiper.

There were tons of Kildeer in the fields throughout the area.
