Btw, just before it’s flagged on eBird, you uploaded your Anhinga shot under Limpkin.  Ty - I fixed the upload. Regarding the Florida specialties, I assume you are referring to the the Limpkin and Swallow-tailed Kite. I saw some concerns about vanishing habitats for the Limpkin, but in South Florida, our interconnected systems of lakes, marshes, and canals, provide lots of snails to the bird to survive on, so I don't see it having any problems here. I'm having fun spotting the same birds. Last Saturday, I saw the exact two Domestic Mallards that I had seen back in May at the same lake. I wonder whether yesterday's and today's Swallow-tailed Kites are the same birds I spotted in the exact spot three weeks ago.

Zoroark Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 https://ebird.org/checklist/S114541806 There was a brief dip in temperature before going back to 110+ °F, so I went out early this morning to get a little birding in. I hadn't seen anything too exciting posted on eBird, but I figured I might as well go to the Henderson Bird Viewing Preserve. One of the ponds was drained, revealing shallow water and mudflats. Because of that, I actually had a pretty active day, with a lot of shorebirds, including a lifer Black Tern (with photo)! Many of the juvenile grackles were learning to hunt by chasing and eating the cicadas. Plenty of juvenile Mourning Doves, as well. There was also a family of coyotes on one of the ponds. Mom kept a watchful eye on her pups, who barked a few times. The Black-necked Stilt recording might be the largest number of background species I've had on a recording yet, with 10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) FOY for county Painted Bunting also saw a wild turkey which was kind of cool https://ebird.org/checklist/S114525984 Edited July 6, 2022 by Birds are cool Typo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Second Cooper's hawk this summer for me. It was an imm! They are very hard to find, and I finally got some good photos of the hawk. I have not uploaded them yet. I will also I upload photos if the baby loggerhead shrikes, so be on the lookout.

dragon49 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Good day. The three Swallow-tailed Kites that I saw yesterday and Tuesday disappeared. They're currently gathering in flocks for the trip back to South America, so, I don't think I'll be seeing them for a while. It was good to spot the Royal Tern, as it's only my second sighting here, but the flyover surprised me, and I wasn't able to get any pictures. https://ebird.org/checklist/S114586406 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I was pretty happy to find some more singing Grasshopper Sparrows near the family place! Previously I’ve only had two at a time here. https://ebird.org/checklist/S114585928 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Great day: I love seeing non-Vulture raptors, and I haven't seen any types of Woodpeckers in a while. https://ebird.org/checklist/S114647354 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Another great day, today in the 91° heat. I'm reasonably sure this is my species records for this hotspot.  https://ebird.org/checklist/S114727161  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Any day with a lifer is a great day! I had been going through lifer withdrawal, not having any since the Royal Tern and Laughing Gull from June 18th, but the three Least Terns showed up and relieved the suffering: https://ebird.org/checklist/S114812264 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Good day as always. This is my first Purple Marting sighting in the area, and my first ever Purple Martin sighting anywhere without bird houses for them, although maybe some residents have put up houses not visible to me:  https://ebird.org/checklist/S114867720  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 A list with @BirdNrd from this weekend. They were up in the area and I was able to squeeze in a quick trip to try to help them find Pileated Woodpeckers.  https://ebird.org/checklist/S114805701 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Incredible day! This is only the second Cooper's Hawk I've spotted; both at this location. I enjoyed seeing three non-vulture raptors, and I got some good photos of a couple of Egyptian Geese: https://ebird.org/checklist/S114925971  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
