In Reply to: Weekend sighting with some photos attached posted by Marcello Gomes
First and foremost, my apologies to anyone who visits Tropical Audubon Society website. Late last night, i wrote about some sightings but i unintentionally omitted an adequate report on the information about where i spotted some species correctly
However, If you have had an opportunity to visit my photos i do write a piece about each species and some details with it.
So, here it is:
Western Palm Beach County (STA-1 West, CR880, & Browns' Farm Rd.
Bald Eagle (flying across 880)
Northern Harrier (20+ including M&F)
2 Peregrine Falcon on Utility poles along Browns' Farm Rd)
2 Red-tailed Hawks at Brown's as well
AT STA-1 West (open to public Friday through Monday)
Saw about 300+ American Coot
1 female Northern Shoveler
Dozen or so Ruddy duck (m,f, & Juvies)
2-3 pairs of American Wigeon
At least one Cinnamon Teal (m)
Moving on... A day earlier i saw a pair of Mallard ducks at Okeeheelee Park
A Peregrine Falcon off 441 south of Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge
on 441 i spotted some vultures circling around and spotted the Short-tailed hawks both dark and light morph.
At Loxahatchee i spotted 5 Black-hooded parakeets.
I visit some friends briefly yesterday and saw a Barred Owl and heard what i thought it was an Eastern Towhee's calling.
Please note that when i posted the most interesting ducks cited above on Flickr there was a problem with the resolution of the photo making it virtually impossible to recognize anything other than the abundant American Coot. If you're interested in seeing it you may contact me on my email.
The rest of what i saw are the local birds that we almost see them daily.
