Sorry gang but I'm the one that started the Bell's Vireo rumor! After reading
this post and doing a little research I now realize the bird was a/the
BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER. I'm not very familiar with this Gnatcatcher and I've
never seen/heard a Bell's Vireo. I guess not-so-close and no cigar for me...
Carry on.

Attracted by a third-hand report of a possible Bell's Vireo on the Wilson Trail
north
at Sapsucker Woods this afternoon (07 April), I ran into Tom Johnson, Carolyn
Sedgwick, and Jay McGowan. They kindly pointed out a BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER,
a first for the basin for 2010, so far as I know. I don't think anyone
re-found the Vireo,
nor do I know the details on the bird, but it's worth keeping eyes ears alert
around
Sapsucker Woods for awhile.
Other birds I encountered today included a NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOW
on the wires between East Shore Park and NYS 34, probably the same Swallow sp.
I saw
backlit there yesterday as I went past at the speed limit with a fare, and a
PINE WARBLER
singing in pines beside The Parkway in Cayuga Heights near Parkway Place, a
good sighting
from the taxi.
