Spent Friday morning at the new Green Cay, damp, windy and chilly with a flock of estimated thousand plus tree swallows flying low over the vegetated marsh areas. An unidentified hawk singled one out of the flock and proceeded to kill it on a snag: medium size, small head, long banded tail with rounded end, grayish back, and black eye stripe with white over, yellow bill tipped with black. Didn't get a frontal view as a crow charged it, dropped its prey and flew off into trees. Immature Coopers?? Any guess on id would be appreciated. Also present, rough-winged swallows,mottled duck, male shoveler, yellow rump and palm warblers en masse, immature and adult little blue heron, great egret,greater and lesser yellowlegs etc. Also noted pair of river otters enjoying the well-stocked fish population. An amazing addition to birding in south Florida.
: Arthur Sissman sends along info about a new wetlands similar to the famous Wakodahatchee Wetlands in Palm Beach County. Now birders have another option when birding in the Wakodahatchee - Loxahatchee area. To read more about it, see the URLs below. Thanks Arthur for the info!
