    I always look at Google Images with a critical eye and a large amount of scepticism but with these two species (and many more if I'm honest) I still don't know what I'm looking for to be critical about. I really must have a return visit, a marvellous place. Phil

    Well I'm still confused. Google Images comes up with pics of both species with and without eyerings and faint sub-moustachial stripes.

    Florida hotel for birdwatching?

    When I went on a family holiday a few years back we stayed in a hotel that backed onto Lake Cecile in Kissimmee. The birding around the lake was superb with Limpkin, Least Bittern, Green Heron to name but a few. Plus birds moving through (this was late March/early April), Warblers, Painted...
