Yesterday I saw two Short-tailed Hawks together
over Fairchild Tropical Botanical Gardens. One was a light phase and the other was a dark phase.
They were quite low and were fussing with one another.
Later one of my students spotted a sapsucker
which turned out to be a male yellow-bellied
sapsucker. I expect to see only females in the winter.
Very few other birds were around, but there were some butterflies(especially in the new pineland plantings in the lowlands).
