Stayed at my brother's home near The Falls during hurricane. After seeing that he had minor damage, we wanted to see what birds made it through the damage. We had the usual residents, exotics (White-winged Dove, C. Hill Myna, 3 Spot-breasted Orioles (2imm) and several Scaly-breasted Munia). Monk Parakeets and sturdy nest survived the winds too. Regarding migrants we had Barn Swallow, BG Gnatchers, Worm-eating Warbler, Am Redstart (commonest migrant), Prairie Warbler, N Parula and a female BT Blue, Later in the day I made it to my home near Kendall Indian Hammocks. I went to that park and birded the main hammock. The canopy is thinned out but the large live oaks fared well. The main path is blocked at several points so I had to retrack several times. I had a couple of White-crowned Pigeons, Gnatcatchers, Worm-eating Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, N Parula, Prairie Warbler and at least 22 Am Redstarts.
