We spend the last two days in the Everglades National Park area.

We saw each day one male Vermilion Flycatcher on the north side of Canal 111.
We potentially saw the reported Ash-throated Flycatcher this morning at the corner of the turn to Lucky Hammock. It was much paler then a Great Crested, however we where looking into the sun and couldn't get good enough looks to be sure. The bird flew into the little hammock at the southeast corner of the turn from the ENP road to Lucky Hammock (same corner as reported by Robin Diaz).
The same area had 3 Scissor-tailed Flycatchers and several Swainson's Hawks.

We where looking for the reported Brown-crested Flycatcher, but did't see any Flycatchers at Research road.

This afternoon we had a flock of Warblers at the Annex:
Black-and-white Warbler
Orange-crowned Warbler
Northern Parula
Palm Warbler
Magnolia Warbler
Northern Waterthrush
Worm-eating Warbler

and the unexpected highlight was a

Blue-winged Warbler

My wife Jutta got a few ID shots of the Blue-winged Warbler. See link below (hope it will work):
