HI folks, May 16/08 - Minutes after arriving in the Sault from my weekly trek from White River, I was informed by David Bell that a White-eyed Vireo (a bird that was first reported amongst local birders on May 14th) was at warbler hollow on Whitefish Island. Minutes after arriving at Whitefish Island, I also observed this bird and watched it and many other birds between 3:25pm and 4:26pm. May 17/08 - This morning at 8:27am I again observed the White-eyed Vireo at warbler hollow. Whitefish Island is located in Sault Ste. Marie, under the International Bridge, in between Canal Drive and the St. Mary's River. Warbler hollow is located in the eastern corner of the island adjacent to a section of a well used gravel footpath.
