A few minutes ago, a bird flew onto an open branch of my crabapple tree outside my window, and it was obviously different than the usual Eastern Meadowlark, Brewer’s Blackbird, Western Kingbird, American Robin, Bullock’s Oriole or Cedar Waxwing that frequent the tree. So, I grabbed my nearby binoculars and – to my huge surprise – I was looking at a Red-eyed Vireo – first time I’ve ever seen one come up from Porter Creek to my yard! It didn’t stick around long enough for me to get a pic, unfortunately.
Oh – there’s the Bullock’s Oriole back – carrying food for it’s young…
Everyone have a great day…Jonathan Barnett, Horseshoe Bend
