This 5-day tour will take us throughout the southern Florida peninsula in search of local specialties, numerous exotic/introduced species, and potential rarities. Specialties like White-crowned Pigeon, Short-tailed Hawk and Snail Kite are regular in south Florida but are not likely to be seen elsewhere in the US. The avifauna of south Florida also features numerous introduced species that are now well-established (and countable) like Egyptian Goose, Gray-headed Swamphen, and Spot-breasted Oriole. Not to mention the many species of Psittacids - parrots, parakeets, macaws – that are regular near Miami. This part of the state is also well-known for its winter rarities, including vagrants from both the tropics and from western North America. As of November 2024 chaseable tropical rarities included Bananaquit, Yellow-headed Caracara, and Shiny Cowbird. Recent western rarities have included Clay-colored Sparrow and Scissor-tailed Flycatcher. We have built extra time and flexibility into our itinerary in order to chase the latest rarities as they are reported. Our searches for this diverse group of species will take us to suburban locations in the greater Miami area, inland prairies and wetlands, the wetlands and mangroves of the majestic Everglades National Park, and wetlands and parks in the Keys including the eclectic Key West.
