Protocol: Incidental
Comments: Driving to Celery Fields reserve bird-life seemingly abounding on the side of the highway.
12 species
Wood Stork 1 soaring over Exit 206; a large bird, obvious identification, life-tick.
Anhinga 1
Great Egret X
Snowy Egret X
Black Vulture X
Turkey Vulture X
Osprey 1 near Exit 210.
Northern Harrier 1 ringtail at Exit 210.
Bald Eagle 2 along the way, flying near to the highway, close enough to see the white head, giving the impression of being a fairly common bird in the area. Life-tick.
American Kestrel 2 separately hunting in fields along the road.
Loggerhead Shrike 1 perched on a fencepost on some road-side ranch-land. Distinct profile, colouring and distribution identified even from a fleeting look. I could only hope for a closer, longer look. Life-tick.
Fish Crow 1 obviously smaller than American crow, & the more numerous crow in Florida. Life-tick.
