Stopped by Green Cay yesterday (Sat Oct 20) and it was very active. At the entrance, painted buntings, indigo buntings, white eyed vireo, black and white warblers, palm warblers, yellow-rumped warblers, red-bellied woodpeckers, cooper's hawk. At the chickee hut tree canopy, worm-eating warbler, Cape May warbler, palm warbler, prairie warbler, black-throated blue warbler, yellow-throated warbler, grey catbird, ovenbird, brown thrasher. In the cypress tree stand, more prairie warblers, palm warblers, yellow-rumped warblers, black-and-white warblers. Plus, American bittern are back, sora in good number, northern harrier and red-shouldered hawks, roseated spoonbills by the dozens, and a few Ruby-throated hummingbirds in the east tree stand.
Today I was in my pool in my backyard in Boca, and was visited by another ruby-throated hummingbird (first time I've seen one in my yard) - it was feeding off my hibiscus, and visited twice for a few minutes at a time. Also, I was overflown by two peregrine falcons, and a white-eyed vireo is still hanging around my yard. I got junky photos of all three for ID purposes, but nothing to hang in a gallery.
Thank you to Carlos Sanchez for the Cape May identification.
