Chasing Yellow
For the second day in a row, I received an e-Bird rare bird alert for a Cape May Warbler seen at the Everglades NP Gulf Coast Visitor Center, just two miles from me. A bird I’ve not captured, I decided to go see if I could find it. Heck, maybe someone else was there and could make it easy and show me!
The Cape May Warbler has a mossy green back, tiger-striped breast, chestnut cheek patch, and yellow underparts.
Well….no one else was there looking for it. And none of the Park Rangers set up in the outside tent for services were aware of it. (They are now, lol.)
So I watched the trees and walked the small nature trail, looking for a flash of yellow.
No luck with the Cape May Warbler. But that plan of mine to look for a flash of yellow paid off with two other yellow birds!

The Great Crested Flycatcher was flying back and forth from the tree to the ground, catching insects. I lucked out with one “on the ground” shot.

It was still a lucky, chasing yellow morning!
