Visited Fort De Soto Park and Honeymoon Island State Park both West of Tampa today. Again no sign of the large numbers of shorebirds that alot of the site guides go on about. However I did finally manage to catch up with Yellow-crowned Night Heron. At least a dozen along the causeway before De Soto. Don't know where they had been hiding up until now. This proved to be my only tick of the day, it was getting a little dry for ticks at this stage. I'll let the pics speak for themselves.
