: 2.White Ibis
: 3.Black Skimmers
: 4.Royal Terns
: 5.Piping Plovers
: 6.Wilson Plovers

: 10.Double-crested Cormorant
: 11.Brown Pelican

: 14.Little Blue Heron
: 15.Great Blue Heron
: 16.Mourning Dove
: 17.Eurasian Collard Dove

: Right after, I head to Cape Florida. I saw much less there, I guess, it s because I don t know where to go. I saw the following three birds:
:
: 1.Mourning Dove
: 2.Red-bellied Woodpecker, and
: 3.Oven Bird
: I also saw a type of duck. I can say what it was, since it flew away.
: All I saw all black bird, which looked like a duck, with white on the shoulders, and mostly all black.
:
: For my last stop, I went to the Crandon Marina, to see what was going on the Spoil Island. That was a great stop, lots of action.
: As soon as, I entered I was greeted by Common Myna, White Ibis, and Eurasian Collard Doves. As I got closer to the water I notice an Osprey, in the hunt for his first meal of the day. He dove into the water and with success and hard work, carried a big fish out of the water. It looked like he was having a hard time flying high. Seconds, later a bigger bird came over. A Bald Eagle. The eagle tried to steal the fish, but it was unsuccessful. The osprey flew a way, with it's meal and five minutes later it returned. It went over to where the bald eagle was at and tried to pick a fight. After a few seconds, it left and the eagle stayed on its branch.
:But then crows and gulls, went over to harass the eagle too.
:
: My other sights where the following:
:
: 1.Double-crested Cormorant
: 2.Anhinga
