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.

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.

Yellow-breasted Chat

This bird shares the award for Longest Time Took to Figure Out What Bird Is Making that Call (the Woodcock was the other one).

Black Vulture

Lacking a good sense of smell, these smaller vultures soar higher than Turkey Vultures (who do have good sniffers) to keep an eye on where they're going and hopefully follow them to carcasses.

Blue Jay

I'm noisy and kind of aggressive, but I love acorns and I helped spread oak trees after the last glacial period. You're welcome!
