May 9, 2014

I bopped around a couple places today and managed to find 3 confirmed species. The first two successful finds occurred at Bent Tree Park in Kendall.

Muscovy Ducks

Loggerhead Shrikes. The juvenile is on the right and it would bite the adult's feet and tail begging for food.

Then I headed over to Winston Park and found the other confirmed species.

Common Moorhens. I have now double the confirmed records for this species in Dade County.

Not the most successful day ever, but it's amazing how little it takes to contribute. For example, on my drive home last night I snapped the picture below and that adds a new species to Dade County: Common Peafowl, bringing us up to 47 confirmed species.
