Merry Christmas! I got my present a day early yesterday when Trey, Tom Mitchell (no relation to Trey), and I relocated the Western Tanager at Matheson during a brief break from doing the southern portion of the Kendall CBC. It was with a mixed flock in the small hammock to the left as you enter the park, then flew to the Yellow-green Vireo tree.

For most of the day, I did the Black Pt. and Dump Marsh portion of the CBC, finishing up at Cutler Wetlands to see if anything new had arrived since dawn when Bill was there. Below is the list for Black Pt. and Dump Marsh combined.
