The Scissor-taileds can be found on the wires along the main road into Everglades National Park (SR 9336 aka SW 392 St) at the intersection with Aerojet Rd (SW 232 Ave). I believe lately they are found just east of this intersection. There are two Buff-bellied Hummingbirds at Castellow Hammock Park, 22301 SW 162nd Ave, Miami, FL 33170. One seems to prefer the orchid tree located on your left as you enter the park and drive past the first garden towards the parking lot. The other uses the main butterfly garded along with a few Ruby-throats. The Buff-bellieds will be larger and have a different call than the Ruby-throats.
