Every year, over spring break, I visit my grandparents in Sarasota, Florida. This year I was most excited because I have gotten into birding quite a lot more since last year. I got a decent amount of life birds, most of which were singlular encounters. These are identifiable using the key.

KEY:
Bold - Life Bird
Red - Seen only once
If a species is marked as seen only once, this does not necessarily mean only one individual was seen. It simply means the species was seen either alone or in a group on only one occasion.
