Protocol: Incidental
Comments: Picked up from the airport the mother-in-law, Mrs Correia. The airport at a new location is usually always good for a few species.
Weather: bright, sunny, warm.
5 species
Anhinga 1 perched in a tree on the side of the small pond at the exit. Distinctive look & size with a pale breast & dark belly.
Osprey 1 atop a telegraph pole next to the small pond.
Monk Parakeet 10 in a swift-flying flock low over the cars in the carpark. I thought they might have been budgerigars but these were larger in the brief look I had. Life-tick?
Palm Warbler 1 flew into the tree above the car in the carpark as I put my bags in the boot/trunk; allowed a close-up view.
Boat-tailed Grackle 1 juvenile, strutting around on carpark's grass verge. Larger size and distinctive shape identified my first Florida life-tick.
