Pelagic birding off the Atlantic coast of Florida can be a frustrating experience, usually involving long waits of up to an hour or more interspersed with brief flurries of activity — a far cry from pelagic birding off of coasts blessed with cold water currents and nutrient rich upwelling such as California, southeast Australia, and Peru.

Southern Florida offers many unique wintering birds, but perhaps none more so then the sparrows that call different parts of Florida their winter homes. Although, these birds in Florida are pretty far south. Their population is currently stable among the arctic regions where they breed. I prefer a little sweat first.

“Out West” to most Floridians might mean California or Arizona or might even refer to the Gulf Coast of Florida. These two water management wetlands are amongst the very best birding and photography locations in south Florida. Right in the open. And this is where magic happens from time to time. If not THE best.

If it were not for the resident cardinals and large number of breeding exotics, Matheson Hammock would be all but silent during the late spring and early summer.

The epicenter of large, charismatic, and often photogenic, fish-eating birds is in Florida, at places like Everglades National Park and Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, the only site in the park system that could convincingly be named for an exotic dancer. Who knew?). Is there a more elegant heron in the entire world?

And managing means killing them, breeding them, and otherwise fiddling with their populations. Or an animal that could use the aid of human intervention, such as the Florida panther, which has benefited from the culverts built to help it safely cross highways (221). This is all very unveganly, but I went for it nevertheless.

Some uncountable species, like Mitred Parakeets , are in fact way more numerous than some of the countable species and they are clearly breeding in well-established populations. Strangely, only a paltry eighteen exotic bird species are countable for birders, according to the American Birding Association. There has to a logical reason.

You could say that the right-brain, the part of the brain that is intuitive and creative, goes first, and the left-brain, where the logic resides, comes in second to refine and substantiate the initial impression. The process doesn’t totally ignore plumage. These vary according to species. I’m sure there are other changes.
