Spent a few hours at Old Waynesboro Park in Goldsboro, Wayne County, NC again.
Arrived around 11:00 a.m. to find about six birders having just seen the McGillivray's Warbler. Got sidelined by a bird that seemed to have a gray head but turned out to be a BLUE-HEADED VIREO. A lifer for me but not what I came for! Not 50 ft away was a birder observing the target species. He confirmed through photos that we had just seen a blue-headed vireo. The McGillivrays had just left the spot where he was. After 30 minutes of searching, I observed the MCGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER foraging along the forest floor. I could not get a good photo of it. Also found a number of BLACK AND WHITE WARBLERS.
Other species seen include: Brown Thrasher Winter Wren Carolina Wren Hermit Thrush Golden-crowned Kinglet Ruby-crowned Kinglet
