I spent the morning with Joe Bozzo at the Sanibel Lighthouse seeing what migrants remained from the last "wave" that bought many good birds there earlier this week. What was significant was what was NOT seen i.e. no warblers or tanagers! Here's what we did see. Our best birds were one Black-whiskered Vireo and a Veery.
