TAS Trip Report South Broward Birding Trip March 19, 2016 Trip Leader-John Hutchison 14 people enjoyed a great day of birding with a total of 57 species of birds sighted. Highlights are below: Markham Park: Spot-breasted Oriole-3 Magnolia Warbler-2 Least Bittern-2 Savannah Sparrow-1 Burrowing Owl-4 (great views) At Markam we had a discussion with one of the employees at the burrowing owl site. I discussed how many places have lost burrowing owls due to coyote activity. The employee informed us that the county has trapped and relocated 5 coyotes to date. They realized that the coyotes were a problem. Long Key Nature Center: Wood Duck-4 Wilson's Snipe-1 Purple Martin-numerous John Hutchison
