LOGGERHEAD KINGBIRD, MIAMI/DADE! At the same location as the Pine Siskin just after dawn this morning. Two kingbirds flew into a small dead Australian Pine just inside the water treatment plant property on the right side of the driveway. One was a typical Eastern Kingbird, the other a LOGGERHEAD KINGBIRD!!! I am still in shock that this bird would be at this location. I have posted three pictures with a comparison to the Eastern Kingbird that was there. Notice the yellow undertail coverts, the buffy-tipped tail and the long bill with a hook on the end. I have copied and pasted Brian Rapoza's directions from yesterday for the Pine Siskin which was also present:
From I-75, exit at NW 138 Street (Exit 2). Drive west about 0.5 miles to NW 97 Avenue. Turn right to NW 170 st., turn left to NW 102 ave., it is not marked but I believe it is the first dirt road that goes south. Go south about half a mile to the water treatment plant which will be on your right. There is a fence around the plant and a driveway with a gate leading into the plant. Birds were on trees on the right side of the gate. Good luck to those who go to look.
