Subject:      Monday, 9 Jan 06--Oxbow Meadows: Two Vireo Species in One Day
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Hey fellow birders,

  I managed to squeeze a little Oxbow birding time Monday morning at 8:00 on the "Trail of Measurements"...lots of passerine activity, including sparrows, chickadees, titmice; also woodpeckers (a Downy and two Yellow-Bellied Sapsuckers: a male at the Trail, and a female in a willow near the bike path leading back to the parking lot); Yellow-rumps and yes, Rusty Blackbirds abounded; also pulled in a few cormorants (guess which species), an Anhinga, a couple of Great Egrets, and also saw a single Pied-billed Grebe.....
  but the highlight of my day was the Warbling Vireo, nonchalantly foraging in the trees across the Trail from the Observation deck; and, just as I was about to leave the Meadows, a Blue-headed Vireo landed in the bare tree at the western corner of the parking lot. Now I consider one Vireo in the winter lucky for me, but two made my day!!

  Bird on,
  John F. McMahan
