South Florida’s Voice of Conservation

Today on Canal L-31 outside of Everglades National Park, Nico Salino and I had what we think is a willow flycatcher. We made a few recordings and at least one captures the creed and call of a willow. This bird was located about 3/4 of the way to the first water control structure in a willow on the berm. Incidentally, the large fig tree is fruiting and played host to an early Cape May Warbler. Behind the tree in the wet area were 13 black bellied whistling ducks. Since I'm waiting to hear from a couple of people on what they think of the recording I have left it as a Traill's on our ebird report. There, I have posted one of the sound recordings.
