Hit the ag field along the intersection of CR 9336 (road that leads into Everglades National Park) and SW 217th avenue this morning between 7-8:30 am with Hans Gonzembach. Off the bat we heard warbler flight calls over head and were able to spot a few birds as they made their way south. Unfortunately most were left unidentified with the exception of the Upland Sandpiper that went over us doing it's very unique flight call. The Barn and Cliff Swallow numbers have definitely gone up since the last time I was here. According to my notes there was a Buff-breasted Sandpiper out in that same field August 17, 2013. Migration is picking up!
