On Saturday, September 6, thirty-seven birders joined TAS Field Trip Coordinator Brian Rapoza as we kicked off the 2025-26 field trip season with a morning of birding at Tropical Park in Miami. Among the 34 bird species tallied at the park were Egyptian Goose, White-crowned Pigeon, Yellow-crowned Night Heron, Cooper’s Hawk, Orange-winged Amazon, Red-masked Parakeet, Yellow-chevroned Parakeet, Loggerhead Shrike, Northern Parula, Yellow-throated Warbler, Prairie Warbler and Summer Tanager. A complete list of birds seen or heard can be viewed in this eBird checklist.
