Went there this morning around 8:10am and found the La Sagra's almost immediately, just where it's been described in the past - out in the parking lot area, to the right of the entrance along the roadside. It was heard clearly calling when I walked up, and within a minute it showed deep in the tree branches, then hopped right up on a branch in the open right over the road - it stayed there for quite a few minutes and gave some nice shot opportunities. About 8 birders were there to witness.
Rain came down hard all morning, so I had to bail Green Cay before I could see too much more...went to Wellington Wetlands off Flying Cow Road - VERY active up there - heavy raptor activity - snail kites, merlins, kestrels, and red-shouldered hawks. Also very heavy warbler numbers - pine, prairie, yellow-rumped, and palm by the dozens...and what appeared to be 20+ blackpoll warblers ( I will need to confirm ID on these, but boldly black-streaked brown/olive backs, pale yellow breasts with streaking, white eyestripe, and orange legs & bill. I have photos I'll need to verify for sure - I've never seen this many blackpolls in one spot).
