We’ll be incommunicado for a few days as we visit some of the more remote sites in southern Florida and will not have internet access.
Yesterday was spent searching for Red-cockaded Woodpecker and Budgerigar in west-central Florida. We missed those target birds but added 14 species to the year list. Today we are heading into the “thousand lakes” area of central Florida and then on down to the edge of the Everglades. We’ll make a run at the La Sagra’s Flycatcher in Bill Baggs Florida Cape State Park on Monday and then disappear into the wilderness of the Everglades for a day or two.
My advice would be to work harder for your target birds while you are there and if that means staying an extra day than consider doing it. These misses will begin to add up and either force you to take second trips later in the year, which will hurt your budget, or you’ll miss them completely.
