Sure, a Northern Parula can be seen in winter in South Florida but add that plus a Northern Waterthrush and four more species of warblers together and you have the first evidence of migration here at Green Cay. We usually have 2-4 species of warblers around all winter but once we pass that number I always feel like migration has started. The birders down in Miami seem to think the same, posting reports of increased numbers of birds being seen especially parulas. I love the migration season and hopefully this year I will fill in a few gaps. I only have a couple of warblers left on my east coast list that I need to pick up and maybe this will be the season.

Here in Stuart we're picking up a LOT of early morning chatter and little feathered friends scittering about all day.
Great to hear! Send them my way :)

I have seen these in our trees..but they never sit still long enough for me to get a picture...great job...I wont give up. I can hear their songs in the tree tops.
