Highlights included the typical 100+ Masked and Brown Booby, 120+ Magnificent Frigatebird, 2 Reddish Egret (1 white phase and 1 red), 2 Common Tern, 1 Brown Noddy, 2 Barn Swallow, and 1 Pomarine Jaeger. Warbler diversity was low with only Palm, Yellow-rumped, American Redstart, and Common Yellowthroat present. A juvenile Peregrine Falcon (or two) on Garden Key were nailing Sandwich Terns left and right and provided quite a feeding spectacle. Other birds I recall off the top of my head:
Red-breasted Merganser - 3
American Coot - 1
American Kestrel - 1
Laughing Gull
Herring Gull
Royal Tern
Sandwich Tern
Black Skimmer
Sooty Tern (count week)
White-winged Dove
Eurasian Collared-Dove
Killdeer
Black-bellied Plover
Sanderling
Whimbrel
Willet
Indigo Bunting - 1
Savannah Sparrow - 2
