A special ‘double post’ from Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on Key Biscayne outside Miami, FL. Per Wikipedia: “Baggs supported early pioneering conservation efforts to rescue the southeast section of Key Biscayne from overdevelopment by real estate developers. The … state park was named in his honor on land protected from development.” And thank goodness for it!
This was by far the best ‘Miami warbler hotspot’ on BirdingPI.com’s recent trip. Great to see beautiful Prairie Warbler, and lots of them!
Best birding trail was this nature trail, aptly named “Robin’s Birding Trail” on Google maps:
South trailhead is between far/south parking area and the adjacent parking area, at red arrow on this map excerpt:
