There is a species of warbler that nests there that is almost impossible to find anywhere else in the U.S.<br /><br />Off the top of my head, I would imagine they have a lot of the desert/species characteristic of the southwest, including a handful of interesting wintering birds? Im sure there is a bird checklist you can get your hands on online.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-60262191198916248942012-09-13T21:38:43.648-07:002012-09-13T21:38:43.648-07:00YESSSSS FLORIDA!

Any thoughts re: what I should study up on for birding delights in that so-remote-I-thought-I'd-never-get-there park?

I ...I hope you do well on your Florida trip Steve!<br /><br />I love the Yellowthroat, they are gorgeous. And the Wilson's Phalaropes? Fantastic birds all the way around. They are buidling up in numbers here on the Great Salt Lake. Thousands upon thousands of them.

My nonbirding friend who lives on Key West has staked out a tame Great White Heron at least.Seagull Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851438505719552645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172285466289881050.post-15507835607689876362012-09-09T10:48:31.487-07:002012-09-09T10:48:31.487-07:00Wow, looks like you've done quite well for you...Wow, looks like you've done quite well for your self here (well, except for the clipped wing..just kidding..it's still nice).
