Lifer! (Or, the day before insanity).

Today I decided to check out Kendall Indian Hammocks briefly, knowing that this would be my last day not nutty birding for a while. I came across several flocks of migrants, that included lots of Red-eyed Vireos, several Black-and-White Warblers, and Northern Parulas. I also came across one Prairie Warbler and a Northern Flicker. near the end of my hiking, I heard an odd "chuck" coming from the brush. It sounded like a Common Yellowthroat, so I attempted to pish the dude out. It kind of looked like a Yellowthroat too, but I noticed it had yellow stripe over its eye. I consulted the field guide, and confirmed my suspicions that it was who I had been looking for a few days ago- the Kentucky Warbler.
This was my first lifer since June. I'm going to take this as a good omen for my year to come. It must be, because Eva agreed to start me off tomorrow by coming to the Everglades with me. The details on that trip, and my first day tallies will be here oh so soon!
