We've been discussing this elsewhere, so I thought we could dedicate a thread to one of the best birding areas in south Florida.
Starting things off with two questions:
1) Has anyone ever seen a Reddish Egret here? and
2) When might be a good time to spot Painted Buntings?
I went there this afternoon and didn't see the Spoonbills that Zackiedawg has spotted there lately. But the usual suspects were there, and...
I finally got to see why Red-bellied woodpeckers are so-named. I've been taking their word for it for years, but one flashed me from a palm and now I see where the name came from :t:
AND got two new Warblers! The Prairie and the Yellow-throated.
Three "firsts" for merry today!
:-O
