Smooth-billed Anis were relative newcomers as breeders to Florida, having only begun nesting since the 1930s. In any case, birders hoping to see Smooth-billed Ani in the ABA area now must hope for single strays to show up in the Florida Keys and along the southeast coast of Florida.
In this article, we will touch upon the high diversity of passerines that either winter or migrate through southeastern Florida, the dynamics of bird colonization by both natural range expansions and introductions, and the large number of strays that show up annually from the Caribbean, the north, and the west.
