Another good birding day Sunday. An extended view of a white tailed kite hunting, pausing in mid-air, fluttering, studying the possibilities below, then floating away to the next best spot. A couple Harris hawks. More ground doves. More inca doves. Buff-bellied hummingbirds, unusual for us. Rufous hummingbird, unusual for down here. Ringed kingfisher again. Golden fronted woodpecker again. Great kiskadee. Cave swallow, number 335 on the life list. Ruby crowned kinglets, flashing red at each other. Curve billed thrasher. Long billed thrasher, that’s an unusual one for us. Lark sparrow. Cardinal.
We got a map to a Bewick’s wren but that didn’t help. We still haven’t seen him. We hear there are some groove billed anis down at the sabal palm grove. Never seen them. Not the groove billed nor the smooth billed. Better check that out.
