(revised), Collier County From: Margie Wilkinson <wwilkin3 AT TAMPABAY.RR.COM> Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2010 15:50:28 -0500 8/2/10--Fork-tailed Flycatcher, Collier County, Keewaydin Island. Correction by Craig Faanes: All of the state land on Keewaydin is open for public use and to be traveled on and over. Also, all land in FL below the mean high tide line is public land. All anyone has to do is land their boat in the sand of the island and walk ashore. Almost any land that is not built on, especially in the southern 3/4 of the island, will be public land that is open for the public to use. Boats can be rented from several locations in Marco Island - Cedar Bay Yacht Club is a great place to get one. And from Cedar Bay to the south tip of Keewaydin takes about 25 minutes. ***************************************************************************************** Non-subscribers and subscribers: to report a rare bird, send pertinent details of observation to FLARBA AT LISTSERV.ADMIN.USF.EDU.

Observer: Sarah Funck et al. Reported: Phil Allman. Directions (by Phil Allman): Keewaydin Island is located between Naples and Marco Island and serves as a barrier island to Rookery Bay. The island can only be accessed by boat. There is a small boat launch at Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (end of Shell Island Road, off of HWY-951 south toward Marco Island). Marco Island may also have a few boat launches. There are no landing spots on the island so visiters would have to anchor off the beach and swim in. The island has a few private homes but is primarily owned by the state (some property belongs to RBNERR). ***************************************************************************************** Non-subscribers and subscribers: to report a rare bird, send pertinent details of observation to FLARBA AT LISTSERV.ADMIN.USF.EDU.

Observer: Michael Brothers. Directions: Take U.S. 95 to Port Orange exit (#256). Head east on Dunlawton Ave. (Rt. 421). Stay on Dunlawton Ave. across the bridge until it dead ends at Atlantic Ave. Turn north (left) on Atlantic Ave. Go about 2.0 miles north until you come to pedestrian walkover across Atlantic Ave. Just before walkway there is a small beachside park on right (Frank Rendon Park, 2705 S. Atlantic Ave, Daytona Beach Shores- DeLORME p.g 75). Gull has been seen roosting just south of Frank Rendon Park. Look for the gulls roosting on the beach up to 10,000 gulls are roosting here. As this would be a very rare gull for the south east pictures of the gull have been sent out to experts and discussion is ongoing. Birders that go looking for the gull should look for: Gull has a very bleached out white head and underparts, and also dark back feathers molting in. The legs were dark, hot pink. The primaries had a distinct "Venetian Blind" effect. (This is caused by pale inner webs and dark outer webs of the outer primaries. It is a feature commonly associated with 1st year Thayer's Gulls.) Also the under wing primaries are very pale. I thought that the in-coming feathers on the back are not dark enough for Slaty-backed, although you will see that they are darker than the surrounding Herring and Ring-billed Gulls. Feedback from some of the experts has said that this is not out of range for a 1st cycle Slaty-back. The tone of these feathers was about the same as the Laughing Gulls. It was about the same size as a medium-sized Herring Gull close by, smaller than a large Herring Gull near it.

Observer: Bob Wallace. Directions (per Bob Wallace): only reachable by very shallow draft skiff or kayak. On a rising tide (not falling, it will be too low for anything but a kayak), you can put in at Shell Mound. Otherwise you have to put in at Cedar Key ramp, and motor around to the west side of the island and run north for 4-5 miles, past #4 channel and Derrick Key. If you draw a line from the fishing pier at Shell Mound, southwest to Derrick Key (you can see a small island with some mangroves and a mound of white sand 4' above the water level), the spot where the Surfbird was roosting was the southern most beach/oysterbar/outer edge of the salt marsh, with noticeable white sand and a large dead log/stump on top of the highest point. However, there are many other similar spots where the tops of oysterbars are exposed at high tide, so you may need to explore beyond this point. Dont go on a falling tide, as the birds spread out all over feeding on the mudflats. GPS 29.12'00.00" N 83.04'47.45W (from Google Earth).
