Re: kinglets in Florida



Don & Marilyn,

  I'm with the two of you. I think that 10 years worth of data 
  would be the rock bottom minimum! 

  The numbers of R c Kinglets seemed to be normal this winter
  throughout the state of Florida. The numbers of G c Kinglets
  this winter has been unprecedented, with many, many times the
  usual numbers of birds in North Florida, & many much farther 
  south in the state than I can remember. In fact we had 2 of
  them on the Zellwood Xmas Count near Orlando.
