We're back, we're jetlagged and we're happy to have a warm sun shining here in Jorvik today. Just a couple of posts left from the States, this one concerning three of the Vireo species we encountered: Red-eyed, Eastern Warbling- and Blue-headed.
Red-eyed are well scattered and pretty commonplace in suitably woody habitats across New England, and even when you don't see them, they're usually singing nearby.
We came across these Eastern Warbling-vireos at Cabot Woods, one of our regular spots near Greenfield, Mass, the first I've seen for some years; amazingly, I happened to notice that the American Ornithological Society (AOS) had split them
the same day (!) into Eastern and Western (previously together as Warbling Vireo). See
here for more.
And finally, Blue-headed Vireo from a woodland walk in Maine a few weeks back.
