Today, I decided to bird Matheson Hammock Park as it was closer to the coast where all the action occurred yesterday. The park belonged to the skulkers. Although numbers of individuals were not high for the various warbler species seen (other than Ovenbird), there was good diversity with plenty of goodies thrown in. Highlights included two Blue Grosbeaks in the weedy open areas on the west side of Old Cutler Road and a Swainson's Warbler on the nature trail deep inside the hammock (also on the west side). Seems like we are starting to get the first real waves of Swainson's Thrushes of the season, as well.
