TAS Trip Report
South Broward Birding Trip
March 19, 2016
Trip Leader-John Hutchison
14 people enjoyed a great day of birding with a total of 57 species of birds sighted. Highlights are below:
Markham Park:
Spot-breasted Oriole-3
Magnolia Warbler-2
Least Bittern-2
Savannah Sparrow-1
Burrowing Owl-4 (great views)
At Markam we had a discussion with one of the employees at the burrowing owl site. I discussed how many places have lost burrowing owls due to coyote activity. The employee informed us that the county has trapped and relocated 5 coyotes to date. They realized that the coyotes were a problem.
Long Key Nature Center:
Wood Duck-4
Wilson's Snipe-1
Purple Martin-numerous

Thank you John for a great trip. It was good to be out birding with TAS. It was our first time at Long Key Nature Center, but we will be returning!
Where at Long Key are the Wood Ducks seem? Thanks...😊
