Another visit to Babcock-Webb, in Charlotte County, today.

Got there early enough to see and hear a couple of Chuck-wills-widows. And again, saw lots of activity at drying up wetlands hosting American White Pelicans, lots of Wood Storks and Yellowlegs. Added a pair of Red-cockaded Woodpeckers and heard several Bachman's Sparrows. Other birds included Swallow-tailed Kites, Eastern Towhees, Northern Bobwhites, Meadowlarks, Eastern Bluebirds, White-eyed Vireos, a Hairy Woodpecker, Pine Warblers, Gray Catbirds, Rosette Spoonbills, Black-crowned Night-herons, lots of White & Glossy Ibis and Common Yellowthroats. Dipped on brown-headed nuthatch. It also appears that the palm and yellow-rumped warblers have pulled-out for their long flights north.
