Warblers and friends really arrived in larger numbers and diversity today. Although I did not record anything unusual, it was still nice to see the bread-and-butter early migrants in good numbers. I had time to cover two parks (AD Barnes and Kendall Indian Hammocks, both in Miami, Florida). The migrant species composition for both were nearly identical! Kendall Indian Hammocks also had a good assortment of swallows, including Bank. Red-eyed Vireos were strangely missing in action at both sites: A.D. Barnes Park: Great Crested Flycatcher Yellow-throated Vireo Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (15) Ovenbird (3) Worm-eating Warbler Northern Waterthrush Black-and-white Warbler (3) American Redstart (5) Northern Parula (13) Black-throated Blue Warbler (2) Yellow-throated Warbler (3) Prairie Warbler Summer Tanager Kendall Indian Hammocks: Yellow-throated Vireo Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (20) Ovenbird Worm-eating Warbler (2) Black-and-white Warbler (3) American Redstart (8) Northern Parula (5) Prairie Warbler (8) Will be nice to see the numbers and diversity continue to rise in the coming weeks.
