Introduction
This was the fourth field work trip to the Keys. Specific birding was restricted to a couple of hours before breakfast when I walked to the brackish lagoon on East Shore Drive then on to the small freshwater pool on Katherine Street, on Summerland Key. Everything else was just noted on the kayaking trips to the field sites in the mangroves around Summerland Key, Cudjoe Key and Lower Sugarloaf Key. What follows is a list of casual observations and a birder with more time could discover more wintering species.
While the temperature was generally between 22-27ºC, it did get down to 12ºC one day due to the 'Polar Vortex' that was gripping much of North America.
