Audrey, Bobby, their guests, and I went to the Everglades in the afternoon during which the rain also did a lot of pouring. We squeezed in a few species which were new for me for the year including Purple Gallinule, Green Heron, and a probable young Swainson's Hawk (photo). After leaving the park, we went to the Homestead airport where Audrey showed us two Burrowing Owls. Home for overnight at Audrey and Bobby's and get ready for another shot at the flycatcher. Species total now at 278.

Don't forget to pick up Common Myna in Florida City. You can't miss them there!
ReplyDeletePhoto looks perfect for a young Swainson's! Amazing that 2 wintered in Dare County, NC, last winter ... what a remarkable thing to have some wintering in the East and Gulf Coast annually now. Good luck with the old flycatcher today!
