This long Thanksgiving weekend, I hit a few different Palm Beach County locations. At Peaceful Waters, there were a large number of northern shovelers in the retention pond to the north, mixed with lots of least sandpipers and roseated spoonbills. Eastern phoebes, painted buntings, and rough-winged swallows around the main grounds. At Green Cay, lots of pine and palm warblers, common yellowthroat, sora - all in the dozens...some northern parula near the front entrance, lots of painted buntings in two locations, northern harrier, kestrel, cooper's hawk, and red-shouldered hawks. Purple swamphen family continues to be conspicuous. On my way out, I was overflown by a red-tailed hawk who gave me my first decent photographs - he went right over the parking lot. At Wakodahatchee, sora, lots of purple gallinule, belted kingfisher, and my first sighting in over a year of a sharp-shinned hawk, who also gave me only my second photo of one ever.
