| Blackburnian Warbler |
Joined with Bob Pelkey to visit a venue neither of us had ever visited. Reports of some hard to find, migrating warblers in SW Florida were intriguing, so we arrived at Sawgrass Lake Park in St Petersburg about 7:15 AM to do some birding.
Canada, Cerulean, Blue-winged and Golden-winged Warblers were among migrates seen here just yesterday. Bob and I managed to see a brief view of a female
Cerulean Warbler, but we dipped on the rest today. Just the same we had twelve warbler species -
Worm-Eating, Black-and-White, Prothonotary, Hooded, American Redstart, Cerulean, Northern Parula, Blackburnian, Yellow, Chestnut-sided, Yellow-throated and Prairie Warblers. Other interesting birds today included a Limpkin, White Ibis, Red-shouldered Hawks,
Chimney Swifts, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Summer Tanager and Nanday Parakeets.

A very rewarding trip, Tom, even considering the birds not dripping off the trees as noted occurring in preceding days. The observation time went by very fast with the near continuous action.
