Tortugas (Day 1)Tuesday, March 27, 2007
2 Pomarine Jaegers, 1 Cory's Shearwater, and several Brown Boobies on the boat trip out.  This was the best trip out I have ever had to the tortugas.  Whimbrel was first seen while eating lunch on the boat.  Phil found two Gray Kingbirds while setting up the tent.  Four checks of the coaling dock produced 0 Black Noddies.  Warblers included Black-and-white, Common Yellowthroat, Prairie, Palm, Parula, Yellow-rumped, Yellow-throated, Redstart, and Magnolia.  Masked Boobies were seen on Hospital Key.  Rough-winged and Barn Swallows flew around the fort, and a Martin joined them for a while.  Gray Catbird, House Wren, and a few other winter birds remained.  Blue Grosbeak made it on to my year list.  Kestrel numbers peaked at 17.
Lots of time was spent at the fountain
