I headed to the coast and St. George Island this morning in the hope that the cold front that passed by in the night dropped something worth braving the freezing temperatures and icy breeze for. Yes, I am still in Florida! I didn't really get the rarity I had hoped for but compensation came in the form of 2 Pine Siskins, 5 Northern Harriers, 2 Orange-crowned Warblers, 1 Hermit Thrush, a small flock of American Robins, 3 White-throated Sparrows and the amazing number of Myrtle Warblers. I estimated there to be at least 6 to every tree and there are hundreds of trees at the youth camp. They were all over the place, I nearly stepped on one! It actually made it difficult to find anything else. The Hermit Thrush gave spectacular views for 5 seconds at a time, just not long enough for me to get a digiscoped image. I did manage some shots of other birds though.
