FL - La Sagra's Flycatcher - 02/12

La Sagra's Flycatcher - Bill Baggs/Cape Florida State Park, Key Biscayne, Miami-Dade Co. FL. February 12th, 2011. Images taken using Canon Powershot A495 hand held with Swarovski telescope.






Located by Huig Ouwehand and Bob Bailey after a morning of rain and showers, actually the only wet morning of our two-week trip. This wintering bird is likely the same as this bird http://pioneerbirding.blogspot.com/2010/03/fl-sunshine-birds-part-iii.html which wintered at the exact same location last year. It was associating with a reasonably large feeding flock including Blue-headed and White-eyed Vireos, Northern Parulas, Black-and-White Warblers, Palm Warblers and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers.

Yet another highlight of a fabulous two weeks in the Sunshine State.

FL - Sunshine birds - Part III - La Sagra's Flycatcher 02/16

La Sagra's Flycatcher - Bill Baggs/Cape Florida State Park, Key Biscayne, Miami-Dade Co., February 16th, 2010.

Of all the birds encountered during our two week tour of Central and Southern Florida with Birdfinders, it's perhaps the La Sagra's Flycatcher that stands out as being the most memorable. Far from being easy, we needed to return to Bill Baggs/Cape Florida State Park three times before finally catching up with this beauty. Was it worth it? Most certainly yes! All of these images were taken during 0954-1000hrs on February 16th, 2010 using a Swarovski HD telescope and a Canon Powershot A590 digital camera.
