White-crowned Sparrow. The road was lined with scrub and short trees, and I spotted not one but two new sparrow species. White-crowned Sparrows are possible winter sightings where I live in North Carolina, but not at all common, while Savannah Sparrows has been one of my nemesis birds for quite some time.

Seaside Sparrows were singing on both sides and occasionally popped up to give us a view before diving deep back into the Spartina grass, hopefully getting ready to nest. Seaside Sparrow.

We started our Singapore bird list at Pasir Ris and leaving the train station we were delighted to see several Cattle Egrets on the grass and several photographers. On one occasion we saw a pair of Red Turtle Doves beside the fishing lake. We were soon in Pasir Ris Town Park and observing a huge variety of birds. Black-naped Oriole.

Wild birds other than the usual sparrows, starlings, and pigeons find better places to be far from the tourist traps of this well-traveled city. I obviously didn’t anticipate a pelagic vibe, but even fish hatcheries can offer excellent birding. In this, I was absolutely wrong. Orlando, Florida is an ecological blight.
