My son Philip and I added another bird to our June Challenge list, Brown Noddy! We have been going to the same general area off Homestead Florida east of Pacific Light by boat. What was even more amazing than the Brown Noddy, was seeing a wonderful Leatherback Turtle the largest turtle on earth! We had geat views and I even got a few pictures. The camera was not on the correct settings when I grabbed it being so excited to see this amazing turtle. At least I was able to get a few photos. We went out the next day not by boat, but land birding and came across some baby birds. We came across two immature Common Nighthawks and Killdeer later in the day, nice!

It's probably too late for this year, but I am always on the lookout for nesting Killdeer. Where did you see these. Maybe next season.
Great finds Larry! The first Miami-Dade Leatherback nest of the season just hatched out a couple days ago. Pretty neat coincidence.
Steve, Alex Martinez over at Crandon Park has been telling me about a Killdeer nest in the South Beach parking lot near the gardens. Not sure how it's doing now though. I'll be sure to get you info much quicker next time!
