Well, I did a search on Rare Bird Evergreen Cemetery Ft Lauderdale and found nothing recent. In 2015 and last year there was a variegated flycatcher (from South America) siting. Nothing recent came up unless no one wants to tell.

You got me curious. So I did a search and came up with some confirmed and unconfirmed sightings there of Canada Warbler and Blackpoll Warbler. Have no idea if these are rare but did remember she had said some kind of warbler. From here https://ebird.org/alert/summary?sid=SN36174

Hoping to hear all our Florida west coast member are safe and anyone in the storms path.

Live in Dunedin, and all we had was some pretty good wind and occasional downpours. The people in downtown Dunedin (near the water), however, have been left with a real mess to clean up. There are branches, palm leaves, furniture, appliances, and more, all sitting out by the street to be picked up. Some still don’t have electricity. As bad as it was there, it was much worse in other areas. I’m really grateful that we live a mile and a half from the water, and 80 feet higher.

Thanks Jeff! I get the Palm Beach County e-bird alert. Didn't think to try there.

Glad to hear you are safe. Wish I was a bit higher above sea level also.
