So, I just did the entry for the Pine Warbler, and how I had just seen one yesterday at my window, and now I’m wondering if it was a Yellow-throated Vireo, because they look so similar! I think it was indeed a female Pine Warbler because it had less yellow, but I will never know for sure. It still makes a good story though.

Wood Thrush

Probably my favorite bird!!! At least my favorite bird song. You don't see these very often, they live deep in the forest, but you hear their soft lovely flute-like trill call and it is just divine.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

Every year these lil' guys return to Middle Way ... they love zinnias, and I also observed their pillow talk, if you know what I mean....story continued...

Scarlet Tanager

Although the males are super bright red, this is a tough bird to spot, as it likes to spend time high in the treetops. For me the easiest way to "spot" it is to recognize it's song.

Northern Mockingbird

I have a friend, that shall remain nameless, that told me he and his friend did (some kind of mind altering substance) one night and listened to the mockingbird that was singing all night long, and they can confirm that it definitely NEVER repeats the same pattern EVER.
