Tropical Audubon Society

South Florida’s Voice of Conservation

Started my morning at The Annex to test my Empid luck. I parked at the yellow gate and walked down Aero Jet Road to the southern yellow gate (near the abandoned building) before turning back. Along the way I heard the PIP calls of a couple Alder Flycatchers while also coming across a few silent Traill's type flycatchers. Full checklist:

Afterwards I drove along the perimeter of the agricultural fields through dirt roads and came across a Solitary Sandpiper in a puddle but that was it for shorebirds (besides Killdeer). Hopefully the rains kick in and attract Buff-breasted Sandpipers to those fields soon.
