Lake Okeechobee's Torry Island's highlight last Friday was an Orchard Oriole that was singing galore. It was a 1st Spring male.
Peaceful Waters Sanctuary in Wellington had:
8 Wood Ducks
1 Mute Swan
1 Neotropical Cormorant hanging out on a snag.
Boynton Beach had an Arctic Tern (yesterday early eve). I saw several terns flying around and one of them looked dark from a distance. It kept plunging into the ocean and it was larger than a Least Tern. I could only see it with binoculars. Then things got better when the bird came in my direction and flew super close allowing some good photo opportunity. I am posting 3 shots where you can see multiple body traits. I can't say if it was the same found last week by Corey. I wanted to certify that it was the correct bird before i put the info out there.
Today there wasn't a whole lot out there 2 Northern Gannets at a distance was the best bird out of all the most common terns, gulls, sandpipers, turnstones, etc..
