Was out there Saturday to both parks, and thought I'd update for the very few who follow anything up here in Palm Beach Co.

Green Cay: The usual herons and egrets, plus: a lone merlin and a regular kestrel, northern harrier, and red shouldered hawk, American redstarts in good numbers, blue-headed vireos, palm and yellow-rumped warblers, black and white warblers, blue-winged teals, sora (at least a dozen), limpkin, northern rough-winged swallows, I think with a few purple martins mixed in, common yellowthroats in good numbers.

Wakodahatchee: Blue herons, cattle egrets, cormorants, and anhingas all nesting in good numbers, Wurdemann's-mix or hybrid still there nesting, neotropical cormorants have settled in and nested, kingfishers, eastern phoebes, palm warblers, common yellowthroats, northern harriers, wood storks starting to gather in large numbers and looking likely to nest there again, sora, a rare flyover of a juvenile bald eagle, and the nearby monk parakeets very active flying over the wetlands.
