Larry,

The Kirtland's Warbler was actually a "walk up to" bird -- very confiding individual originally found by a birder in Broward county.

I believe there are 5-6 documented records in the state. It was so exciting to get point blank looks at this one. I am sure they must pass through Florida from the Bahamas, but there are so few of them and it is a big state, so...

Carlos, nice to get the Kirkland's in Florida! Was it difficult to find?

About 33 I think after a short troll through my disparate lists. (Including 5 in the UK)

My mother saw Kirtland's Warbler in the Turks and Caicos Islands many years ago, sadly despite three trips there I haven't been able to find one!

I grew up about 2 hours from good Kirtland's Warbler breeding habitat. I think Kirtland's was something like in my first 10 warbler species I ever saw.

Still have seen more Kirtland's than say, Hooded, or Yellow-throated.
 
That's funny, Mysticete. Yellow-throated Warbler winters in the West Indian Mahogany in front of my balcony almost annually. Very common migrant and uncommon winter resident here in Miami-Dade.

Warblers high on my wish list right now include Wrenthrush/Zeledonia in Costa Rica, Red-faced Warbler and Painted Redstart in Arizona, Olive-capped Warbler in the Caribbean, and Red, Pink-headed, and Golden-browed Warblers in Mexico.

I birded Pelee around 6 to 10 hours a day in April, May, June for 10 years
and saw a lot.

"MacGillivray’s Warbler has been removed from the Ontario list (2010)."

I saw one at Pelee, heard a Kirtlands and saw Black-throated Gray. Any
sightings by others of McGillivrays were probably trashed and I never
said anything to anyone about it.
 
I found at least 5 Yellow-throated Warblers at Pelee ( mostly in April ) and
saw another 5 there. My best find was I heard a slurred chip while running
without binoculars and pished it down to visual range.

Warblers seen or heard this winter in the Hamilton Study Area ( Ontario
Canada ):

2 out of 7 - Yellow-rumped and Common Yellowthroat
 
I haven't been able to add any new warblers in quite a while, but this year I am hoping to finally add Kentucky, Worm-eating, Swainson's, Connecticut, and Louisiana Waterthrush on a May trip from Laramie To Michigan, with a possible swing through Kentucky
 
105 following IOC. Red and Red-faced Warblers both pretty near the top.

If you count Olive Warbler, as well as Yellow-breasted Chat and the Granatellus then I'll have another five.



I was pleased to finally add Grey-throated Warbler in western Venezuela in December 2011, to give 106.
 
Perhaps this year I will be able to get up to Michigan and add the Kirtland's Warbler to my list.
That bird brings back some memories, Larry. Some years ago, my wife and I spent two weeks birding in New England. With a couple of days to spare, we suddenly thought, why not go for Kirtland's! We managed the 925-mile drive from Amherst, Massachusetts to Grayling, Michigan in under 15 hours – the long way round through Pennsylvania and Ohio because Budget didn't allow non-US/Canadian drivers to take its rental cars into Canada without special arrangements – amazingly without a single speeding ticket, and only stopping to swap drivers, refuel or take a pee. The Kirtland's Warblers performed memorably the next morning on the USF&WS tour, and even after some birding stops we made it back as far as Buffalo, NY by nightfall.

Wow! Now that is determination and endurance on your part! If I go up there this spring I will probably bird for a few days and have a more leisurely trip!
