Birding and Fishing at Calypso

My son Jamie is here for the week. He recently became an avid and expert birder. Here is his list for the first full day. Most of these were seen on the grounds of Calypso, but a few were seen along the Banks Rd and at the entrance to the Levy Preserve. See also our old list at http://calypsocalypso.com/birds.htm


In previous stays he has focussed more on fishing. The above image shows a giant bonefish he caught.
