Hi all, I spent time having lunch and walk in Mundy Wildflower garden. I came across a small group chickadee associates that consisted of a male and a female CANADA WABRLERS, and a PHILADELPHIA VIREO. Philadelphia Vireo was feeding right above my head may be six or seven feet high and picking green caterpillars (third or fourth instars) and feeding on them. I could have even got a picture with 100 mm lens, but I did not have a camera:( I watched his underside for quite some time while he was feeding:-)
I also saw and heard, RED-EYED VIREOS, E. PEEWEES, BALTIMORE ORIOLES, E. PHOEBES and RED-BELLIED WOODPECKER, probably all residents yet. There were a couple of Pantala flavescens (Wandering Glider) and an Ajax junius (Green Darner. Monarchs have started heading south, I have seen several of them today.
