Another day, another four species for the 2025 list including one life bird. A Bahama Mockingbird was reported at Fort Zachary Taylor on Wednesday. This is another one of those USA rarities that has found its way to the Keys from the Caribbean. After failing to find the bird on Thursday and Friday, I was able to get great looks at it this morning after the rain cleared. This is lifer #549.
Black and White Warblers are everywhere right now. Catching them when they have briefly paused their constant branch-hopping is a matter of luck.
Also new for 2025 is this Ovenbird. This bird builds a dome-shaped nest on the ground that reminds one of an old brick oven. Thus, the name.
I got the Louisiana Waterthrush in Texas. And, today I got a Northern Waterthrush in South Florida. Go Figure.
