Warbling Vireo

"I also think I chased the same bird at Walden the other day. I only got a brief look (no time for a photo), and initially thought it was a Red-Eyed Vireo. However, upon seeing your fine photo, I think this is the one we probably saw.  I'm…"

Warbling Vireo

"I had one heck of a time getting a picture of a warbling vireo!  Last year I spent about 2 hours trying to see, let alone photograph, one that was singing with wild abandon in one tree.  I saw it long enough for a positive ID, but never…"

ID Help?

"Excellent! Thanks for the help JV and Penny. I was hoping for new warbler species as I've had trouble spotting anything but the most common of these. I chased this one from tree to tree before finally getting a quick shot. They don't stay…"

ID Help?

"First of all: Great photo! If you look in Audubon's guide (plate 514 in my edition), there is a picture almost identical to this of a Warbling Vireo.  The picture in Sibley's doesn't show the stark contrast between upper and…"

I have an uncle, Bill Gaines - he currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, but we were both born in Red River County, Texas - Clarksville. My Grandmother, Mary Limbock, married Raymond Gaines (both in heaven now) and had Uncle Bill, mother's half-brother. I know we are not "blood" so to speak, but I wouldn't trade my Papa Raymond Gaines for nothing! And, I have cousins that are half-blood cousins, and they are Gaines. Hope this isn't confusing. Steve Gaines and Kim Gaines (my 2 cousins) live in San Antonio, Texas. There are more Gaines' around - but would have to find out from Uncle Bill where they are. I know some are still in Red River County.

The picture is great ...

Thats very common here in Puerto Rico... The king bird is called Pitirre and the red Tail Hawk - Guaraguao. There's a say: Cada Guaraguao tiene su pitirre. Every Red Tail Hawk has his king bird.

Pat—Whilst birding with Rich Stallcup in Yosemite, I witnessed a Western Kingbird riding piggy-back upon a Common Raven for the time it took the Raven to flee the Kingbird's nest site and cross the Merced River. Kingbird hammered back of Raven's head the distance.

Nice shots of the Grouse, (both species). Thanks for pointing the Molloy's and I in the direction of the owlettes. As I feared your glass definitely caused a touch of envy, even shooting against the light. Can't wait to try to catch that scene again in the early morning hours. Good to meet you.

Hi Pat, here's the best shot we got with your lens, along with some others we took yesterday. Hope to bump into you again sometime!

Pat, we were reading that before they fledge, they "branch", walking around just outside the nest. Have you observed this? Do you have a guess on when these guys will fledge?
