Dusky Seaside Sparrow

Passerherbulus nigrescens

Habits similar to others of the species but remarkable for limited area of distribution. I saw a number while poling the sloop thru the Haulover canal. They were not shy and seemed interested in the strange appearance of a boat and man in their country.

BREEDING

RANGE

Headwater marshes of Indian River, Florida.

Wax Myrtle

Myrica inodora

Rarely a small tree up to 20 feet high; usually a compact shrub found in swamps of Gulf coast.
