I drove from Cordele, GA, to Fort Myers, FL, with a dinner stop in Sarasota with my fifth grade teacher, Arthur Borkowski! The only birding I did all day was what I could see from the car and at various rest stops, and it was dark by the time I left Sarasota, but I had pretty good luck at the run-of-the-mill Florida rest stops, just wandering around the periphery of the parking lots, and going on a nice little walking path at one. So I added 13 species, bringing my year total to 82:
- Wood Stork
- Double-crested Cormorant
- Anhinga
- Great Egret
- Little Blue Heron
- Red-shouldered Hawk
- Eastern Phoebe
- Carolina Wren
- Northern Mockingbird
- Palm Warbler
- Yellow-rumped Warbler
- Yellow-throated Warbler (This one was so close that I instantly regretted my policy of not lugging my big camera to every bathroom stop)
- Chipping Sparrow
