Bananaquit
Found by Joe Kaplan of Michigan on February 12, 2008
I saw the Bananaquit today, February 14, 2008 around 9:45 a.m. located in
Hollywood., other birders had seen it at 9:00 a.m. I stuck around and saw it
again around 11:30 and watched it take a rest around noon. It is being seen
from address 1023 to the house across from 1100 (north side of st.) The best
place seems to be the beautiful house and yard located at 1050. Thanks to
Joe Kaplan from Michigan for finding such a cool bird while jogging!!! The
best place to park is on the dead end street located between 1100 and 1050
address. The bird was feeding in the flowers of a Royal Palm located on the
west side of the 1050 address. The bird went to rest in a pretty large clump
of Bamboo, the Royal Palm is locatedright next to the Bamboo. My photo shows
the flower cluster of the Royal Palm, where the bird was feeding on the
nectar.
Joe Kaplan's directions and sighting are copied and pasted here:
I am a visiting birder from Michigan and observed a Bananaquit yesterday and
today in Hollywood in a residential area just off the intercoastal. It is an
active bird and easiest to track by its call note which it gives almost
continually when it is in view. The call is warbler-like, not unlike a Palm,
except it has a unique and distinct metallic quality. I have observed
the Bananaquit twice in the same yard (house address 1050) --otherwise it
has been in two other yards along the same street. The location of the bird
is:
N. Southlake Drive between S 10 & S 11 Ave.
I have seen the bird in the yard (at or near the road) of houses 1050, 1023
(on the telephone line), and 1045 -- all are along the same block. I have
only seen the bird in the morning though yesterday afternoon there were high
winds and rain. This morning I only saw the bird for approximately 10
minutes as it flew between house 1050 & 1045 and then disappeared.
