The same warblers were present. 6 Chuck-will's-widows were seen early in the morning. Yellow-crowned Night-herons were around, and we flushed a Black-crowned from the Bakery. Black-whiskered Vireo made a short appearance at the fountain. The Yellow-throated Warbler left, but an Ovenbird arrived and quickly left. Three checks of the coaling docks produced the same number of Black Noddies. A kayak trip out to Long Key got us close to the Frigatebirds and Tern colony on Bush Key. Gulls were present in large numbers and are possibly destructive to the tern colony. A stranded fisherman brought us some left over fish which was a nice break from peanutbutter and jelly.
 Looking for Tropicbirds inside the fort.
