Occurrence Remarks: A solo visit; an unsuccessful chase of the Small-billed Elaenia discovered yesterday by Oscar Johnson, which furnishes the first record for Florida. After not seeing the bird yesterday (1720-1945), I stayed over at a nearby La Quinta Inn and Suites (for $55.55, tax included!) and was back this day at dawn. There were already 20 or so birders present. One local birder photographed the elaenia at 0800, and a birder from Gainesville saw it around noon. After 1800, the few remaining birders, all from Miami, played some Small-billed Elaenia audio and the bird responded by flying in and calling (never seen) before skulking back away. As far as I know, those were the three sightings of the elaenia from Monday. This was the most shy and skulky bird I have ever encountered. I had no intention of chasing it again should it stick around, which it did not. I left around 1420 and got home about 3 hours later. The Small-billed Elaenia was my first missed chase in five years! In September and October 2020, I missed Hermit Warbler and Mourning Warbler, both at Palm Beach Countys Spanish River Park. In between those misses have been a ridiculous number of spectacular successes: Gray-tailed Tattler, Gray Gull, California Gull, Large-billed Tern, Yellow-headed Caracara, Antillean Palm-Swift, Couchs Kingbird, Cuban Pewee, Variegated Flycatcher, Piratic Flycatcher, Western Flycatcher, Hammonds Flycatcher, Red-legged Thrush, Yellow-green Vireo, Thick-billed Vireo, Kirtlands Warbler, MacGillivrays Warbler, Townsends Warbler, Lapland Longspur, Lesser Goldfinch, Red-legged Honeycreeper, Scotts Oriole, Hooded Oriole, Little Bunting, Black-faced Grassquit, and Golden-crowned Sparrow -- with all but the sparrow photographed! So, all in all, I cant complain about missing the Small-billed Elaenia. Note: this site was a botanical garden of sorts -- but heavily unmanicured -- so I tried to concentrate on the less obvious plants. Still, I may be submitting a cultivated plant or two inadvertently.; Coordinate Uncertainty in Meters: 0.11000.
