Walking around my place during a break in the rain, I've found quite a few
actively foraging birds, including newcomers: a PHILADELPHIA VIREO and two
singing TENNESSEE WARBLERS.

Outside my window at Commonland the cottonwood and sycamore hosted a small
mixed flock including a PHILADELPHIA VIREO and NASHVILLE WARBLER and a couple
more flitting too quickly and dressed too confusingly to be ID'ed by my

Brad Walker and I just found a bright Philadelphia Vireo on the Wilson Trail at
Sapsucker Woods, just near the footbridge over the small stream.

powerline cut. This was presumably a second bird, being a bit far from the
Wilson Trail. It was actively foraging in the aspen on the Lab side of the
path.
At 5:30 this morning, while lying in bed half-awake, I was surprised to
hear a PHILADELPHIA VIREO singing outside my window (first ever in our
yard). It's song was just as my son, Chris, described to me: like
Red-Eye, but softer, higher pitched (squeaky), and at a slower pace.
