I was there Saturday at Spanish River, around 10am before the rain (though it stayed grey and overcast all day). I also spotted several painted buntings, a few random warblers (possible cape may, definite prairie and yellow-rumped)...and then a mystery bird that I needed to get ID confirm on, which ends up being the black-whiskered vireo.
My shots are not anywhere near as clear - I had horrible backlighting and very grey overcast in enormous shadow, so not much I could do without flash...but I think enough to get an ID.
Also I found a spotted sandpiper hanging out by the police boat dock...I don't see them very often - seems it's usually solitary sandpipers or least sandpipers, so that was a nice change to get a young spotted sandpiper.
