A total of 154 bird species were seen (plus three species heard only), along with a few other

amazing animals, including American Alligator, American Manatee, and ‘Key Deer’ (a tiny,

endangered subspecies of White-tailed Deer). Species lists are at the end of this report.





Detailed Report

Day 1, 24th April 2021. Arrival in Miami and some evening birding

After gathering up everyone from the airport, checking into the hotel and enjoying a nice Cuban

dinner, we decided to venture out for some first day birding. We enjoyed a pleasant evening stroll

around Kings Creek Village where we were greeted by a flock of Mitred Parakeets, an established

exotic, now on the ABA countable list. Other highlights included an amazing point-blank red

morph Eastern Screech Owl, pointed out to us by some kind neighborhood walkers, and the first

of many Fish Crows, Northern Mockingbirds, and Blue Jays.

Yellow-chevroned Parakeet is one of many exotics in the Miami area.

Day 2, 25th April 2021. Miami exotics and Wakodahatchee Wetlands

The morning started off with breakfast before we headed out to explore some local parks and

neighborhoods. Miami is known for having a long list of established exotic species which can be

tricky to track down at times. We began at Pine Woods Park where we came across a small flock

of Scaly-breasted Munias, a great start to the morning. We encountered a few other species

including Brown Thrasher and Monk Parakeet before we turned back to leave. Just as we were

approaching the vehicle, a pair of Red-whiskered Bulbuls flew over and gave us some great looks

as they perched in a nearby tree! From here we explored some local neighborhoods where we

scored our main target bird, Spot-breasted Oriole. This glowing orange bird gave us prolonged

views before we headed off towards Crandon Park. This park, located on Key Biscayne, is full of

small ponds and exotic species including Egyptian Goose, Muscovy Duck, and Indian Peafowl.





We also enjoyed views of five Grey Kingbirds on a single wire and a local rarity, Least Grebe,

which had been hanging out in one of the ponds for the past few weeks.

After lunch it was time to start heading north towards Boca Raton but first, we made a quick stop

at the Biltmore Hotel to search for more exotics. The beautiful hotel grounds were full of Mitred

Parakeets and after some searching, our tour participant Urban, spotted a Yellow-chevroned

Parakeet (see pic above) at the top of one of the palms!

From here we continued on to the spectacular Wakodahatchee Wetlands. As soon as we stepped

onto the long boardwalk loop through the wetlands, we were greeted by the local welcoming party

of nesting Wood Storks only a few feet away. These wetlands are a haven for nesting wading

birds, and we spent the afternoon and early evening enjoying amazing views of Tricolored and

Little Blue Herons, Purple and Common Gallinules, Grey-headed Swamphen, Anhinga,

Glossy Ibis, Black-bellied Whistling Duck and Double-crested Cormorant. We also spotted

some other wildlife including a Northern Raccoon and a few American Alligators.

This American Alligator gave us a full view out of the water.

Day 3, 26th April 2021. Spanish River Park, Loxahatchee, JD State Park to Fort Meyers

Our first stop this morning was at Spanish River Park, a great location to catch up with migrant

birds, resting and refueling before they continue their journeys north. We managed to get onto a

few nice flocks containing American Redstart, Cape May, Black-and-white, Blackpoll, and

Black-throated Blue Warblers, and Black-whiskered Vireo, a Florida special. We eventually

headed out to the beach section where we picked up Least, Royal and Cabot’s Terns and a small

flock of Sanderlings. From here we were off to Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge where we

enjoyed a pleasant walk around their Cypress Swamp which really gives off Jurassic Park vibes.





Highlights here were Pileated Woodpecker and Barred Owl, a great spot by our tour participant

Mary!

The afternoon was spent visiting Jonathan Dickinson State Park where we managed to encounter

our top target, Florida Scrub Jay, rather quickly. Unfortunately, it wasn’t interested in coming

back out for prolonged looks and pictures. We moved on to the Sem-Chi Rice Mill which you can

see from a distance, as hundreds of Black and Turkey Vultures soared overhead. Here we

managed to catch up with the rare Shiny Cowbird as well as Yellow-headed Blackbird, Brown-

headed Cowbird and Common Ground Dove before starting our long drive across the state to

Fort Meyers.

Anhinga may be a common bird in Florida, but they are always a real treat to watch.

Day 4, 27th April 2021. Babcock-Webb, Harns Marsh, and the Tamiami Trail

The morning started off exploring Babcock-Webb Wildlife Management Area and its extensive

tracts of Florida slash pines which plays host to a few special species. It didn’t take too long to get

onto our top target for the area, Red-cockaded Woodpecker! Of course, the woodpecker wasn’t

the only good species here, we also enjoyed Great Crested Flycatcher, Bachman’s Sparrow,

Sandhill Crane, Loggerhead Shrike, Eastern Meadowlark, and a Brown-headed Nuthatch,

repeatedly visiting a nest hole. On our way out of the park, a small family of Northern Bobwhites

decided to cross the road and treat us to a look, after hearing them all morning. From here we

headed off to Harns Marsh where we heard the loud calls of Limpkins before finally spotting one.

The main highlight though had to be spectacular, eye-level views of a Snail Kite slowly scouring

the channel in search of snails and proceeding to land on a snag to dig out its prize. We began our

journey south with a few stops in the Naples area which proved to be rather quiet and unsuccessful.

After dinner we started our drive across the Tamiami Trail where a small channel follows the road





and it was absolutely full of Snowy and Great Egrets, Black-crowned Night Herons and

Anhingas. For miles we enjoyed gazing out the windows at the massive numbers of these elegant

waterbirds.

Day 5, 28th April 2021. Everglades National Park and Lucky Hammock

We started off this morning by heading into Everglades National Park, a huge park consisting of

approximately 1.5 million acres of habitat! Unfortunately, we didn’t have any luck at our first stop

with the tricky (Cape Sable) Seaside Sparrow but did however enjoy nice views of several

Common Yellowthroats singing in the marshes. As we continued down the main road, we were

treated to multiple low flying Swallow-tailed Kites, gracefully swooping over our heads. We

continued along until we reached the Flamingo Visitor Center where a group of American

Manatees were hanging out by the boat docks. It is always amazing to see these large sea mammals

up close. We finished up with a quick hike around the eco pond which netted us some nice species

including American White Pelican, Reddish Egret, American Avocet, and White-eyed Vireo.

After a picnic lunch, we left the everglades behind. On our way out we stopped at the famous

Robert is Here fruit stand to enjoy some delicious fruit shakes. We made a quick stop to check out

a local Cave Swallow colony before heading to the hotel for some rest.

There is nothing quite like a Swallow-tailed Kite soaring just over your head!

A small group decided to venture out in the late afternoon to bird around Lucky Hammock and the

L31W Canal. We met up with another Birding Ecotours guide, Luis Gles, for a fun-filled session

of birding. We managed to get onto a few locally uncommon birds such as White-tailed Kite,

Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, and Western Kingbird before we started our 1.5-mile (2.5 kilometer)

hike of L31W Canal. It was at the end of this trail that a rare Smooth-billed Ani had been hanging





out and luckily it didn’t take long before this special bird made an appearance for us. While hiking

back out we enjoyed a few Common Nighthawks overhead, preparing for their evening of hunting

insects. We met back up with the others for dinner and had a nice Common Myna in the parking

lot of the restaurant. A pleasant way to end a bird-filled day.

Day 6, 29th April 2021. Florida Keys

Today we ventured into the beautiful Florida Keys. Highway 1 stretches over 120 miles (190

kilometers) from mainland Florida all the way to Key West and is one of the prettiest drives in the

country. Our first stop of the day was at Dagny Johnson Key Largo Hammock Botanical State

Park. Within the first 100 feet (30 meters) of the path we were greeted by a calling and

accommodating Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Further along we enjoyed more White-eyed Vireos,

Cape May Warblers, and Northern Parulas before the real star of the show, Mangrove Cuckoo,

made an appearance. This was quite an obliging bird flying over the path and perching in some

dead limbs, giving amazing views out in the open!

The typically sneaky Mangrove Cuckoo gave us excellent views on this trip.

After some breakfast, we continued our drive of the keys, enjoying soaring Magnificent

Frigatebirds overhead as we went. A quick stop on Grassy Key yielded several nice shorebirds

including Grey (Black-bellied) Plover, Lesser and Greater Yellowlegs, Short-billed Dowitcher

and Semipalmated Plover. We continued on to the Marathon Government Center which has a

small dock behind the building where a few Roseate Terns were hanging out with a large group

of Least Terns. We then made it to the Blue Hole located on Big Pine Key where the star bird,

Black-faced Grassquit, was spotted almost immediately. Other nice birds here included Black-

and-white Warbler and Grey Kingbird. On our way to the No Name Pub for the next meal, we





encountered a few ‘Key Deer’ along the side of the road. These deer are a tiny and endangered

subspecies of White-tailed Deer.

After some tasty food, we started to head back towards Grassy Key for an evening birding session.

We made stops along the way as the tide had shifted to low tide providing nice foraging areas for

shorebirds and other waterbirds. Here we encountered Ruddy Turnstone, Willet, Reddish Egret,

and the white form of Great Blue Heron, which may end up becoming a new species in future

years. Finally, we made it to Grassy Key to put ourselves in position for Antillean Nighthawk. It

took a while, and two silent, distant nighthawks, before an accommodating bird flew close by

giving their signature “pitti-pit-pit” call.

Day 7, 30th April 2021. Dry Tortugas National Park

We were off to the docks first thing this morning and then onto Dry Tortugas National Park. While

waiting at the docks for our ferry to load up and set sail, we enjoyed a few birds including a flock

of Black Skimmers, Green Heron, Western Osprey and a Red Junglefowl walking around the

street. It wasn’t long before we were onboard and out on the open waters. It was a pleasant day for

the two-hour ferry ride and as we got closer to the final destination, a Brown Booby and a pair of

Audubon’s Shearwaters flew by the boat. Before actually landing on Garden Key, our boat

passed by Hospital Key, a small sand bar which plays host to nesting Masked Boobies. Finally,

we arrived at Garden Key and the Dry Tortugas, where we were greeted by a swirling cloud of

thousands of Brown Noddies and Sooty Terns. We hiked up to the fort to begin scanning through

the large flock while enjoying many Magnificent Frigatebirds flying low overhead. Thankfully,

it didn’t take too long to spot the single Black Noddy mixed into the huge Brown Noddy flock.

Several species nest on Garden Key, including Sooty Tern.





From here, our time was spent further exploring the island. The south coaling docks had a few

Bridled Terns hanging around giving nice views for everyone. The middle of the fort has a small

water drip where migrant birds seek a drink and bath. Here we had Indigo Bunting, Wilson’s,

Magnolia, Black-throated Blue and Palm Warblers, Grey-cheeked Thrush, and a Rose-

breasted Grosbeak. We all loaded back onto the boat and took the ferry back to Key West for

dinner after a really pleasant and enjoyable day with sunshine and perfect blue waters.

Day 8, 01st May 2021. Keys back to Homestead

Today was spent birding and driving our way back out of the keys to mainland Florida. We started

off along Boca Chica Road where we heard a Clapper Rail call a few times and there were several

American Yellow Warblers singing but they were not being very cooperative with looks. From

here we had a lovely breakfast and headed off to Fort Zachary Taylor Historic State Park. This

location produced some good species for us including White-crowned Pigeon, Yellow-crowned

Night Heron and a lingering, Red-breasted Merganser. We also got stuck into a nice little flock

of migrants such as American Redstart, Cape May, Magnolia and Blackpoll Warblers and a

Northern Parula. The rest of the day was mainly spent driving back out of the Keys and enjoying

the views of the crystal-clear blue waters. We did stop and pull over a few times when the tide was

low and enjoyed species such as Reddish Egret, Bald Eagle, Magnificent Frigatebird and Royal

Tern.

After dinner, we had an optional late evening birding session back at Lucky Hammock. As the sun

set on a beautiful evening, we enjoyed several nighttime species such as American Barn Owl,

Great Horned Owl, and a few loud calling Chuck-will’s-widows. A great ending to a lovely day.

A soaring Magnificent Frigatebird is a welcome sight in the Florida Keys.





Day 9, 02nd May 2021. Departure day

Our final day was spent transferring to the Miami airport for departures home and discussing some

of the top birds of the trip. A few of the favorites for the group included great species and

memorable encounters with birds which we managed to watch up close and enjoy their natural

behavior. The favorites consisted of Florida Scrub Jay, Snail Kite, Grey-headed Swamphen,

Red-cockaded Woodpecker, Brown Noddy and Mangrove Cuckoo. We then all said our

goodbyes and wrapped up a great trip to Florida.
