I birded with John Vanderpoel and my son Philip this morning. We had the Thick-billed Vireo at 7:15 a.m. at the same area that it has been seen in Matheson Hammock County Park. This was number 694 for John's big year!! I marked the area with some bright green flagging tape to make it easier to find the location. We later tried some areas to find Smooth-billed Ani but failed to find one until a little later. We then drove up to Ft. Lauderdale where John quickly located one lone bird!! This is perhaps the same bird that has been in this area for quite some time. This was number 695 for John's big year!!!
The location of this bird is near the 800 building located in Dania on Old Griffin Road. The bird was seen north of here in the field across the canal closer to the railroad tracks to the east. I believe this field is in Ft. Lauderdale.
