More birds moved into and out of Florida (more in than out, though!) Here’s the radar from sunset last night through 5:00am this morning.
Frames are every 1/2 hour. Click on the thumbnail to view the full-sized animation.
No real “fallout” weather to speak of- but hotspots in the northern 2/3 of the state should be hopping this morning, and new birds should be apparent throughout the state.
Good Birding,

This morning there was a flock of indigo buntings in my yard in the Little Havana area of Miami. There was at least 8 or 10 of them, with a really nice view of one in the open. I’ve seen painteds, but never the indigos before in this area. There also were 3 cooper’s hawks (probably the residents) circling around. Otherwise the regular stuff.

We had a nice day at the banding station today. We banded some diversity with Catbird, Warbler, Bunting and Raptor species. Best bird of the day was a Red-shouldered Hawk we got to lock one on! Killer bird in hand.
Also seen were Merlin, American Kestrel, Peregrine Falcon, 2 Short-taileds (1LM, 1DM), Swainson’s and Coopers’s Hawk, B & T Vultures, and Osprey.
A small flock of Tree Swallow coasted by heading SE. Also saw a House Finch, awesome. House Wrens called from the old ponds along the pond trail.
Palm Warblers and Painted Buntings were by far the most numerous birds around today.
