Made it down to Florida for a few days with our time spent in the Orlando and Melboune Beach area.  We had basically three days of enjoying the warm weather after our flight down late on Saturday.  We hit Orlando Wetlands Park on the way to and back from the Melbourne Beach area.  Overall the weather was pleasant with one very windy day.  The most productive warbler spot overall was Pelican Island NWR but a few other stops produced some good sightings.  Total of six new warbler species for the year during the trip (Palm Warbler, Northern Parula, Pine Warbler, Ovenbird, Prairie Warbler and Yellow throated Warbler) among the nine species overall (the others being Yellow rumped Warbler, Black and White Warbler and Common Yellowthroat).
