Hi,

Russell Macgregor found a Bahama Mockingbird at John U. Lloyd State Park
in Dania, Fla. at 5:45 this evening.  He called me from the park and I was
able
to observe the bird for a few minutes around 6:30.

Exit I-95 at Stirling Rd. (in Dania)  which is located in central Broward Co.
 Go east on Stirling to US #1 (Federal Hwy) and then go north for 2-3 blocks
to Dania Beach Blvd.  Go east on Dania Beach Blvd. and follow signs to the
park.

Enter the paved parking lot which is located 1/2 mile north of the entrance
booth.
Park at the south end of the parking lot and walk south onto the unpaved
portion
of the lot.  There is a gray sign providing information on life guards,
alcohol, pets,  etc.  Just south of that sign is a large fruiting Ficus tree.
 Russell observed the     bird feeding in that tree and also on the ground
beneath that tree.  It also perched      for a short time in a small tree
about 25 ft. south of the large Ficus.  We last
saw the bird about 6:35 when it flew back into the Ficus tree.
