Late arriving Warblers are featured here in part #2 of Warbler Mania at Fort De Soto. As of May 20th, there are still a few stragglers being reported, including many Blackpoll Warblers.
The late arrivals that we spotted include the Black-Throated Blue, Black-Throated Green, Blue-Winged, Cape May, Chestnut-Sided (life bird #234), Kentucky (life bird #232), Tennessee (life bird #230), Yellow, American Redstart and the Northern Waterthrush (life bird #234). Late arrivals that we dipped on were the Bay-Breasted, Blackburnian, Blackpoll, and Magnolia. The Blackburnian and Magnolia would have been new life birds for us.
Now we can relax for the summer and look forward to fall migration. That will be our best chance to see the Wilson's, Canada and Nashville Warblers, all will be life birds for us. It seems that these species migrate through Florida in the fall on their way south, but not in the spring on their way north.
