Fall Migration

 Wednesday October 7th

Sighted this Whimbrel at Siesta Key 

Great Crested Flycatcher

So far Fall Migration, as we in beautiful SW Florida are experiencing it, has been a bit so.  No great fall outs, but there recently has been some fun birding at Rotary Park in Cape Coral.

Swainsons Thrush

Veery

Palm Warblers are just now showing up with American Redstarts being the most commonly encountered migrating warbler.  Ovenbirds, Yellow-throated Warblers, Black-and-White Warbles, Summer Tanagers and Swainsons Thrushes have been reliable. For me personally, I can add Scarlet Tanagers, Red-eyed and Yellow-throated Vireos, Baltimore Orioles, Blackburnian, Black-throated Blue, Northern Waterthrush & Chestnut-sided Warblers, Eastern Wood-Pewees and Yellow-billed Cuckoo.
