Check coastal parks for stalled migratory birds

For those who might not be aware, after yesterday and last night's storms it has been suggested to me by someone who knows more than I do that today would be a good day to stop by coastal parks for stalled migratory birds, including Connecticut Warblers.

I know I'll be going. Hope it's helpful.

Hi Eloso and other readers:

After a dull winter and spring in Flamingo we were looking forward to birding here following the big weather event, and we finally had some migrants in and around a fruiting strangler fig in front of the visitor center:

Magnolia Warbler
Red-eyed Vireo
Red-breasted Grosbeak
Orchard Oriole
Cape May Warbler
Etc.

Strong SW winds (preceding the N winds) caused flooding in the walk-in area of the campground, drawing in lots of shorebirds, including four white-rumped sandpipers.
