Had an adult male Cerulean Warbler at Kendale Lakes Park this morning app. 0830, in trees along tennis & paddleball courts (park side, not parking side)

Cerulean continues as of 10am in same area. There is also a HY Blackburnian.

I heard it was not seen shortly after Carlos saw it. I almost chased it, so I would have wasted the afternoon. The Blackburnian was also not seen, but there was a prothonotary.
The Cerulean was there as of 6:31pm when I left. The bird turned up in the Strangler Fig next to the water fountain just past the tennis courts, with the Blackburnian loosely associating with it. They moved around the figs N of the playground and stayed mostly high up.
An out-of-town birder mentioned that a female Cerulean Warbler was also present.
It has been brought to my attention that I misidentified the female Cerulean as the HY Blackburnian.
Just got a text from Noah Frade and the CERW continues as of this morning. Good luck to those chasing!
The Cerulean, Prothonotary and Blackburnian were all found this morning in trees on the east side of the park's racquetball courts. For those unfamiliar with Kendale Lakes Park, I've just added it to the TAS Birding Locations page. It's at http://www.tropicalaudubon.org/birds/birding-locations#kendalelakes
Here is a shot of the male Cerulean.
I've been keeping tabs on the TAS Board to get a pulse on what's going on back home and have to say I'm envious of the marquis warblers in Miami-Dade and Broward so far. It's only mid-September, too. Live it up. See you all over the holidays.
