With beautiful weather, 30 enthusiastic birders met this morning in Bill Baggs Cape Florida SP. We covered the better areas of the park (excluding Youth Camp Area) and accumulated 38 species, plus 2 more seen right before 8 AM. We had 13 expected warbler species for this time of year, a Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Purple Martins, White-crowned Pigeons, Red-shouldered and Cooper's Hawks, a small stream of Bobolinks and a Black-whiskered Vireo. eBird list link below. Butterflies were out today and 2 uncommon species were seen: Phaon Crescent and Variegated Fritillary. A small Yellow Rat Snake was valiantly trying to swallow a Cuban Tree Frog twice its size. Thanks to everyone for a great morning, including the younger set of birders.
