Apopka Wildlife Drive - January 16, 2017
This was a great day at Apopka. Went to find the Ash-throated Flycatcher (very rare) and hopefully a Vesper Sparrow (another life bird). Found both at the entrance gate to the park after just a few minutes of searching. Spent the next hour watching the flycatcher, then had to move on before it got too late. Before all of that though, I got this great shot of some loggerhead shrike leftovers.
Soon after moving on, just around the first turn, someone said there had been a yellow-breasted chat hanging around 30 minutes earlier. Eventually, after a half hour or so of looking, I was able to see it for one second and get an identifiable photograph. The third "life bird" for the day! There is always so much to see!
