Portrait of Vireo

Sunday, October 23rd, 2016
Red-eyed Vireo, Beech Hill Preserve, Rockport, Maine, 23 October 2016.

Red-eyed Vireo.

Cold front moved through last night. Wind a-blowin’. Dressed Jack in his blaze orange jacket, what with some early hunting going on. Me, I liked to froze my fingers.

Not many birds were out—or at least none that I saw (or could hear above the wind). Did get a look at a solitary Herring Gull, glimpsed of a few yellow-rumps and chickadees.

Then, just as we were about to arrive back at the parking lot, I came face to face with a young Red-Eyed Vireo.
