South Florida’s Voice of Conservation

Eighteen birders attended this morning's walk at the Deering Estate, part of their "Deering Goes to the Birds" event. Elias, a Deering naturalist, led us through the restricted areas of the estate. The birding was somewhat slow; highlights included a flock of Pine Warblers in the pine rockland area and a White-crowned Pigeon in the hardwood hammock area. Here's what I recall being seen or heard; I'm sure I'm missing a few species seen before the walk began:
Cattle Egret
Black Vulture
Turkey Vulture
Osprey
Red-shouldered Hawk
White-crowned Pigeon
Mourning Dove
Mitred Parakeet
American Kestrel
Red-bellied Woodpecker
Eastern Phoebe
Great Crested Flycatcher
Blue Jay
House Wren
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
Northern Parula
Pine Warbler
Black-and-white Warbler
Northern Cardinal
