Or, truth be told, MARK spotted a new bird!! He is always the one---he has a great "nature eye" and spots anything new.
This
blue-headed vireo showed up and seems to be fighting with our goldfinches. The goldfinches don't want to share their thistle seed feeder. This little guy may be a juvenile, because he is supposed to be eating insects.
We are always so excited to get a new bird visiting the backyard---and it is also exciting when we identify it and then check the range map and it actually lives in this area--we are in the
blue headed vireo's summer breeding range.
