Mark Heddon and I covered the Lower Keys, mostly Key West, for the Migration Count. There were far fewer migrants around than in previous days, but we still ended up with some decent numbers. We visited Harris School, Indigenous Park, Higgs Beach (alas, no Slaty-backed Gull) the nature trail on Atlantic Ave, Fort Zach, Little Hamaka Park, Key West Botanical Garden, and Boca Chica (off Big Coppit Key).
