Fran and others, The BANANAQUIT is being seen at Hugh Taylor Birch St Pk in Ft Lauderdale, Florida. This area is well-described in the ABA/Lane guide and is close to the airport (for those of you who'd think about twitching and using a taxi instead of paying for a rental car). I keep regular updates for rare birds (such as the BANANAQUIT) of interest to North American birders (and of course, those who visit North America). The page can be viewed directly at http://users.erols.com/gregorym/rarities.html But since this is a Maryland list, I'll refrain from mentioning I just got some secondhand info on a YELLOW GROSBEAK in New Mexico... Happy hunting! Greg Miller Hollywood, MD
