Rebel ,
Are you familiar with the Wings over Florida program. It's very nice and free. You simply send away for the information by contacting Wings Over Florida . They have 5 different beautiful certificates that you can earn. I have the first 2 and am working on the 3rd.
They send you nice checklist booklets You have to identify 50 for the first certificate.and get a nice certificate with a cardinal on it....piece of cake. You then have to identify 150 for the second certificate which is a Shrub jay ...not too hard I'm working on the 3rd which has a Swallow tailed kite on it You need 250 birds. They can only be seen or heard in Florida and not in captivity. I have about 205. Most of the ones I need are either in Miami with a high powered birding scope or the pan handle. I plan to also hunt Eglin's Airforce Base this year. They have monster deer compared to central Florida and a few birds I need that don't quite migrate this far. The 4thcertificate is 350 birds the 5th I believe is 400. I'll be tickled to get 250. They even have a Junior Birder that I can give to my students. Only 6 earned them last year.
