Tropical Audubon Society

South Florida’s Voice of Conservation

This Sunday at Green Cay, I found the previously mentioned ruddy duck was still there, and hanging out with him were two lesser scaup. They were actually crossing paths and hanging around the same patch, with the ruddy busy diving around and the scaups mostly just grooming and floating.

Lots of warblers still around - mostly yellow-rump, pine, and palm, with fair amount of B&W and some nothern parula and blue-headed vireo mixed in. Lots of tree and rough-winged swallows all around - in some places it's intimidating to walk as they're buzzing your head just inches away. American bittern hanging about - at least two.
