This morning I was surprised to hear the familiar song of a Yellow-throated Vireo in our Ames backyard. We have a pair in the neighborhood each year, but I was surprised by the early date. So, I spent about 10 minutes waiting and watching and finally spotted the bird, a beautiful male Yellow-throated Vireo. I believe this is a record early spring arrival date by a few days.
