Today, a Warbling Vireo in the tall urban trees of River Park. The bird was quiet and still after hours of rain. It moved off deeper into the trees.
I forgot to report a Cassin’s Vireo on April 14. It sang a lot, had clear phases, and answered itself. It appeared larger than other vireos [though later checking the sizes, it was not larger, but closer and brighter], with a bold split eye-ring bar across the bill [supraloral], a contrasting darker blue/gray head, and bright white wing bars. It had bright new plumage. It was up 15 feet in the row of casuarina trees that lined the levee next to the ball field at Glenn Hall Park. Flew off.
