More Spring migrants arrive

Since my last post a few more of my favorite birds have trickled in and sang for me. Although I have been really busy still have a little timer here and there to listen and look for birds. The red eyed Vireo I photographed yesterday was very unique. I literally brought my laptop outside when I heard one singing behind my house, I played its song from my favorite bird website and with in 20 seconds a pair of vireos cam flying down to investigate. That's how I got such a fine photo of such an elusive bird.

I like to keep it simple when I'm outdoors and not bring a lot of gadgets, but this was remarkable. This might actually be a reason to finally get a smart phone...but only for this!
