Of the 21 species of warblers the majority (species and numbers) were seen in the large fig tree, which is fruiting, at the south end of the parking lot at the bend of the road. Of my over 50 years of birding in Everglades N.P. I'm sure this is my highest warbler list for one day. They were streaming in and out of the fig tree for over one hour. Hope you can find some of them. RLC
