White-eyed Vireos are on the move now and we heard several of them calling, with just brief glimpses of one individual. The locally breeding vireos had mostly quieted down after their breeding season and today’s birds were likely migrants. Green-winged Teal have returned to Lighthouse Pond; these are one of several duck species that don’t breed here but will spend the winter with us.
