I HAD A VERY EXCITING SPRING; SPENDING A WEEK IN FLORIDA MID APRIL, AND 6 DAYS AT MAGEE MARSH MID MAY.
FLORIDA WAS GREAT FOR NESTING BIRDS AND BIRDS IN BREEDING PLUMAGE WHILE MAGEE MARSH HAS TO BE THE MOST PRODUCTIVE 4 1/2 ACRES ON THE PLANET IN MID MAY. I SAW 109 SPECIES, INCLUDING 25 SPECIES OF WARBLERS. THE KIRTLAND'S WARBLER (A LIFER FOR ME) SPENT ALMOST AN ENTIRE DAY ON THE BEACH, ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE TIME IT WAS IN AND OUT OF THE THICK VEGETATION. I ALSO SPENT SOME TIME AT PEACE VALLEY AND PENNYPACK TRUST. AS ALWAYS, ALL OF THE IMAGES ON THIS WEBSITE ARE COPYRIGHT BY HARRIS BROWN AND MAY NOT BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION.
