Oops! Forgot to mention the Crested Caracara we saw on the roadside about 3
miles before the entrance to Myakka. We did NOT see the Swallow-tailed kite,
but the woman working at the entrance booth said she had seen 4 while on duty
that day.

We had a great outing this morning out at Spindletop. The sun was out and it
warmed up nicely through the day. We had 8 participants today and totaled 34
species. It was a banner day for Savannah Sparrow with a count of 23. We also
had a Barn Swallow, which was FOS for most of us.
Hope to see you all out on our next outing.
