3 females

Rosana and I went to the Everglades this week, camping at Long Pine Key. I was hoping to see the real BAR-TAILED GODWIT at Flamingo, but it seems that it has moved on. While in the parking lot of the Flamingo visitor's center, we located a flock of INDIGO BUNTING. Among the group was one female BLUE GROSBEAK, new for my year. (female #1)


Yesterday morning, I went out to Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park to find the female WESTERN SPINDALIS that had been reported two days prior, and within 15 minutes, the 6 other birders that were there and I had gotten on it. (female #2)
Rosana and I left in the early afternoon to head to Lake Wales and visit her parents. On the way we stopped at a Palm Beach County reliable location for roosting BARN OWL. It was reliable indeed.

I have hit 450 birds for the year. My goal.

Rosana and I are getting married. (female #3)
