  • Birding trip to the Florida Keys. Gray-tailed Tattler is an Asian shorebird that somehow ended up in the Florida Keys. Birders from as far as California flocked in to see this rare vagrant. Take a look at my trip to the Florida Keys.

    Congratulations on finding that rare Asian bird, Bravo! I knew if there was a bird to be found Tom the bird whisperer would find it, 😆

    Congratulations Thomas! Nothing beats driving 8 hours one way to find a rare bird (this is a hard concept for non-birders to grasp)...AND FINDING IT!😁 Give a “hello” to my old stomping grounds of Jax; I moved from there to the Keys 25 yrs ago.

      Thanks. Good thing that alligators prefer the fresh water but we have so many alligators here in Florida.

    Wow, I have never seen this species of bird, I like its olive colour, white line on feather, the woodpecker noise and seeing this on the tree is so nice. I second to that the sunset is very beautiful :) Have a good day

    Nice footage of the birds and the beach. It brought back memories of the times I was in Florida. My favourite birds are the pelicans. We actually have some here in Edmonton in the summer, except that they are white, not multi coloured.

    Congratulations, Thomas! The tattler is a common wintering migrant to the Philippines, although their numbers seem to be diminishing. I hope you see more. Cheers!

      That's the first time that Tattler was seen in east coast. One somehow ended up here. Thanks
