I haven’t been to Leffis Key for years, largely because it’s a long drive for me, and it’s a relatively small preserve without a lot to see that can’t be found closer to home. The exception is birds… for some reason, there are almost always interesting birds that hang out at the preserve and today I saw an American Redstart (in migration), and overhead were a couple of magnificent frigatebirds, which I rarely see this far north. They are common in the keys, and I have also seen them down at Blackburn Point on Casey Key. IDs on iNaturalist.
