Tropical Audubon Society

South Florida’s Voice of Conservation

For the last couple of months or so, there have been several Western Kingbirds and Scissor-tailed Flycatchers present along 9336 (the road that goes into Everglades National Park). These birds have been on the utility wires just before the turn-off to Lucky Hammock on the south side of the road. I had three Western Kingbirds today and three Scissor-tailed Flycatchers. I also so a few Loggerhead Shrikes including a couple that had impaled grasshoppers on the fence; "the butcher-bird".
