The birds in questions were the aforementioned Canada Goose and three happily foraging Chipping Sparrows. Welcome to the Everglades where Wood Storks , spoonbills and frigatebirds are expected, but Canada Goose and Chipping Sparrow require documentation.

For example, in May, I was on the Maryland shore for a wedding and submitted several checklists for Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia. Two of those birds were lifers ( Worm-eating Warbler and Grasshopper Sparrow ). I have found Trip Reports a useful way to organize checklists from birding trips.

You just head up to the top of the ridge and walk back and forth until a small flock of sparrow-like birds with buffy bellies and white outer tail feathers pops up and, making a dry rattling vocalization, heads out over the prairie to god knows where. Nor was he an ornithologist.
