Belted kingfisher flying across griffin road in dania. Seems early
I had a Belted Kingfisher yesterday at Turnpike and Okeechobee Rd
Two belted kingfishers have been at Green Cay Wetlands as well since the previous weekend to last.
I had my first Belted Kingfisher this season on July 29 in the West Miramar WCA. Also, this morning I saw my first-ever Barn Owl for this patch (or County) about 10 minutes before sunrise, also in same location. No photo obtained but no question as to ID. Worth all the mosquitoes and Deer Flies!
Belted Kingfisher: End of July and beginning of Aug, seen at Plantation preserve, Plantation Botanical Garden & John Lloyd State Park.
CLR from Sunday, Forgot to mention 3-4 Red Eyed Vireo and many American Redstarts.
Plantation Preserve: Tues AM, Quite a few BG Gnatcatchers and Prairie Warbler, 1 American Redstart, and an infrequent visitor 1 Common Ground Dove
