Livia and I came across another out-of-season bird at Salt Point in Lansing this morning: a WARBLING VIREO! Considered late any time after September, this is quite a surprise. It seemed content enough, foraging actively in brushy areas on the point. We came across it four or five different times while walking the circuit. I found myself disappointed it was not a White-eyed or Bell's, but still cool to see a late individual like this. It seems like there could be a decent chance this bird is a vagrant of the western subspecies, but they are extremely challenging to differentiate in the field.
