[Birdtalk] Report on my trip to Florida

[Edson Leite]

Great trip!!
  Hot, humid, lots of birds, lizards, gators and bug bites.
  We only had rain one day and I was driving the whole time it was raining. The tropical depression knocked a lot of birds down which helped our numbers a lot.
   
  Beth and I did a lot of driving about 1200 miles. Went north to Sebastian Inlet and south to the Dry Tortugas.
  I got 51 lifers, beth had 79, 150 species total.
  We saw 18 Warbler species, SMOOTH-BILLED ANIby the Ft. Lauderdale Airporjt, no owls at all, no Florida Scrub Jay , the only Emberizid was an EASTERN TOWHEE. I got my RUDDY TURNSTONE over one hundred of them :D.
  The Dry Tortugas was the best warbling area ever, all you have to do is sit at a bench near the water fountain and all of the warblers come into clear view for you :D.
  Did some scuba diving, snorkeling took lots of pictures and I am back to my normal tanned color. A lot of great fruit at "Roberts is here fruit stand" made me fill like a kid back in a Brazil.
   
  Great trip
   
  I still need an AMERICAN BITTERN, and if the Evening Grosbeaks are still around Springville I may try for them this weekend.
   
   
  Good birding.
