Recently, a rarity has popped up in Roca Raton. A Bananaquit is currently present feeding on the flowers at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. They are nectivore feeders. This bird is probably a vagrant from the Bahamas
Very useful data was shared from the many birders who had already posted their photos on eBird. Basically, to stack-out the butterfly garden. Yesterday I arrived at 8:30 in the morning and waited. Waited almost four hours when the bananaquit arrived at 12:22 to feed on the fire spike flowers. There was a dozen of us present, waiting to capture that great photograph of a very interesting bird. Its arrival was very satisfying.
