Hey Guys,

We're headed down to SoFLA/keys next week and were wondering if there have been any recent SBAN sightings? I know they used to be viewed in Dania Bch/Airport Rd but any intel on a reliable spot would be great. Also, anyone know if the Vermilion and Tropical Kingbird are still at L31W? Thanks all!

A pair of Smooth-billed Anis have been present at Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge for months now. The L31W Vermilion Flycatcher hasn't been reported in over two weeks, but the Tropical Kingbird was reported there this past weekend. Details for these sightings are on the SFL Rare Bird Update.

At least one of the Loxahatchee Anis was reported today on eBird.

Thanks again Brian! We're still contemplating which direction (east coast/west coast) as we make our way to the Keys. Great intel though, gives us lots of food for thought.
