Hi everyone Heading over to South Florida from the UK in about a weeks time. Just wondering if there is any up to date information or hints tips that any of you might have that would be useful. I've looked at the latest rarity news and I've also looked at ebird - which is useful but not always perfect for directions within a site... In particular, any one know of any sites that are producing reliable sightings of any of the owl species? I'm familiar with the area - especially SW Florida (Fort Myers to Naples area) - have visited about a dozen times. But things like owls are always tricky to know without recent and specific knowledge - such as look half way up the third tree on the right etc... In addition, any info on sites in the Miami area - and best times to go would be useful. Have struggled in the past with some of the exotics which often seem to go to ground during the hotter middle part of the day. Any information hugely appreciated - feel free to email - capercaillie74@gmail.com Many thanks Matthew
