Hi Cayuga birders- Wow, in a day & a 1/2 we have 3 different sp. of birds around here in NY that I last saw in South Florida in early March 2020 - Imm. Little Blue Heron, Black Vulture (they were trying to eat the black rubber off all the cars in the parking lot at the Everglades!),
& Swallow-tailed Kites (1 of which was seen sitting on a log near the surf on beach at Captiva Island in late Feb. Right after its rest in log, I saw it fly towards mainland. I guessed that it might have just flown in from across the Gulf of Mexico on its migration, which was happening right then, & found this big log to rest on! I don’t ever see them at the beach in Fla, plus at this manicured beach, washed up trees are usually quickly taken away)!
