Tim and I checked the Park Preserve this morning. We were there from 8:30
to 9:30 but only in the area where the vireo had been seen yesterday for
the first and last 5 minutes of that hour. On our way in, we heard nothing
that could be turned into a White-eyed Vireo, but we did have great looks
at a silent Blue-winged Warbler foraging around the parking lot, and a
Green Heron flew directly over the parking lot fairly low.
On our way out, we heard a song that may well have been the White-eyed
Vireo. It sounded like an Indigo Bunting song with an extra flourish at the
beginning and end of the song. As we approached the location of the song, a
bird flushed from down low and disappeared, and the singing ended. We were
left with a tiny, bouncing, bare branch at the bottom of a spruce, close to
the trunk--not where I would expect to see an Indigo Bunting singing.
