I birded A.D. Barnes from 8:30-11:00, ran some errands and scooped up Paul Bithorn, and resumed birding the park from 12:20-3:00.
With showers in the area last night, it seemed that many of the individuals from the previous few days stayed put. New birds were apparent upon arrival, and a shower around 11:00 am put even more birds down.

Paul and I birded Miami Springs afterwards, finding a large flock of Aratinga parakeets, composed of mostly Mitred, Scarlet-fronted, Crimson-fronted, White-eyed, and a few Red-masked and Green Parakeets. Two juvenile Spot-breasted Orioles were seen in this area as well.
I cruised areas of Miami Shores on my own later in the evening, and was able to track down Common Mynas, Chestnut-fronted Macaws, White-eyed, Blue-crowned, Mitred, Red-masked, White-winged, Yellow-chevroned and Monk Parakeets, and a juvenile Spot-breasted Oriole. Native birds seen during the cruising included a Merlin and a large flock of Eastern Kingbirds.
Enjoying the post-graduation life,
