Travis Bonovsky and Alyssa Murphy found and photographed a WHITE-EYED VIREO today in Sunset Memorial Cemetery (adjacent to Hillside Cemetery) in NE Minneapolis (Hennepin Co). Images of the bird have been posted in Facebook's Minnesota Birding and MOU groups, as well as the "Recently Seen Rare Birds" page on the MOU's main site.
Travis wrote up the following description: "Found in a line of Cedar trees near reflecting pool at Sunset Memorial Cemetery which is adjacent to Hillside Cemetery in NE Minneapolis. Very active "Warbler-like" behavior and staying mostly in the dark inside portions of the trees. Very obvious yellow "spectacles" and belly sides. White wing-bars. Did not notice the very light colored eye until photographed. Returned a 2nd time to try and relocate but was unsuccessful."
