I saw the Bananaquit today, February 14, 2008 around 9:45 am. Other birders had seen it at 9:00 am. I stuck around and saw it again around 11:30 and watched it take a rest around noon. It is being seen from address 1023 to the house across from 1100 (north side of street) The best place seems to be the beautiful house and yard located at 1050. Thanks to Joe Kaplan from Michigan for finding such a cool bird while jogging!!! The best place to park is on the dead end street located between 1100 and 1050 address. The bird was feeding in the flowers of a royal palm located on the west side of the 1050 address. The bird went to rest in a pretty large clump of bamboo, the royal palm is located right next to the bamboo. My photo shows the flower cluster of the royal palm, where the bird was feeding on the nectar.
