Just heard a blue-headed vireo singing quite loudly outside my window. New yard bird for me, and I guess also office bird (lots of new office birds for me this past month :-).
A couple days ago I had a pretty close encounter with a blue-headed vireo while jogging the six-mile-creek/south-hill-recway area. Got a pretty good eye-level naked-eye look at the bird, not a frequent occurrence for this species. Some of my closest bird encounters seem to be while out jogging and thus binocularless, like with a ruby-crowned kinglet yesterday almost within touching distance. Or maybe I just tend to remember more of these "wish I had my bins with me" moments. My phone just sounded a reminder to lead a Stewart Park bird walk tomorrow, a reminder I had added to my calendar back before the coviding. Sigh.
