Following our stay down in Costa Rica we made a brief stop in Orlando, Florida on the way home arriving late on Sunday and leaving in the afternoon on Tuesday which gave me a full day and bit of another to try to turn up some warblers. I figured I would try to find my main targets at the
Orlando Wetlands Park and arrived there around sunrise on Monday to find it quite windy. I worked my way to the north side of the park where the trees acted as a shield to the wind and the conditions there were mostly calm with the sun shining on the trees. I started racking up the warblers right away with Northern Parula and Orange crowned Warblers in among the very numerous Yellow rumped Warblers and lesser numbers of Palm Warblers and Common Yellowthroats. Just a bit further down the path I ran across a couple Pine Warblers plus my first Black and White Warblers. After a bit more searching I eventually turned up singles of Yellow throated Warbler and Prairie Warbler. I was very happy to find all my targets (and get photos) within just a few hours at a single location. A total of nine species of warblers for the morning was somewhat unexpected given the conditions that I found when I arrived.
