The Oleta State Park is situated on the Oleta River and runs in to Biscayne Bay North Miami. It is a particular favourite haunt of mine because of the variety of habitats including Mangrove, scrub and seashore. Our weather is still a bit overcast but very warm never the less. Todays birds included a couple of my favourites. The bird above was a real treat. We sat under a Sea Grape Tree, suddenly this bird arrived and there was a real sense of excitement in the air. These birds are really exotic and I see them often when I am here. He was drinking from the underside of the broad leaves that you can see.
A few minutes later a small brightly coloured warbler joined it. I struggled to get good photos of this bird but I have positively ID’d it as a Yellow Throated Warbler
