[obol] Wed morning, Mt Pisgah; Red-eyed V.

[Larry McQueen]

We took the low trail along the river southward from the Arboretum that
continues into the open clearings beneath the power-lines.  We found a
reticent RED-EYED VIREO that managed to produce enough song for
identification, but it then flew from the top of a very tall cottonwood and
followed the river northward and out of our sight.  The bird may have been a
non-breeder, but this species should be looked (listened) for in this area.
As it turned out, as Don Schrouder remarked, we found the Red-eyed Vireo to
be more common than Warbling Vireos at Pisgah.  We failed to see or hear any
Warbling Vireos!
