A Freakish Morning in Florida
Yellow-billed Kite? I woke up this morning and looked out my bedroom window. Look what was greeting me! I haven't been able to figure out what this bird is for sure, but I think it's a Yellow-billed Kite! These birds aren't even supposed to occur in the U.S! Great Kiskadee Then on my way out the door, I looked out at the mountains near my house, and I saw an amazing sight. A Great Kiskadee was perched looking at me! Unbelievable! These birds are not supposed to be in Florida. They are supposed to be in Mexico and the southwest U.S! Speckled Pigeon Then I drove to work and on the roof of my building was a Speckled Pigeon! These belong in Africa! Something strange is happening here today, and I can't figure it out. Three extreme rarities in one day!
