I'm taking the family to Key West for a week in late September. My wife and I have been several times, but have not done any serious birding while there before. I have already booked a trip to Fort Jefferson, and wondered what to expect or be prepared for at this time of year. We've done this trip sans kids before, so we know what to expect on the boat.
I have a Rebel XT with a Canon 300mm f4 and a 1.4 TC I will be bringing a cheap tripod and a good monopod with me as well. What birds should we be looking for? Should I spend my time towards Bush island or in and around the Fort?
I would like some advice on locations in the lower Keys too. We will have a car, and probably access to a boat most of the week.
