Barnes had a nice mix of late migrants and winter visitors today, including twelve warbler species (highlights being a Tennessee and two Blackpoll Warblers, Indigo Bunting, Baltimore Oriole, Blue-headed Vireo, and three species of raptor.

Yesterday while scouting for exotics at the University of Miami, I had two more Blackpoll Warblers and a single Magnolia Warbler in a strangler fig near the bookstore. On my way home, I stopped at Kendale Lakes Elementary which had about five Ruby-throated Hummingbirds dueling it out in the orchid tree by the entrance to the school in addition to a single Summer Tanager. Hopefully, some of these birds will decide to spend the winter here for the Kendall CBC.
