Title: White-eyed Vireo
Post by: Steve Hood on May 13, 2018, 09:54:08 PM

I went out to try and find the White-eyed Vireo at High Park.  I finally found it but it was difficult to get a good shot of it, as it moved around very quickly in and out of the shadows.

I'd say it was a pretty good shot of it, and the other two warbler shots are superb.
Very successful spell for you getting the vireo, the Kentucky and the Tennessee.
I'd love to visit the wet woods but I would need rubber boots and I'm not taking
those on the bus, then LRT, then subway and then another bus in order to get down there
and then not finding any of those lovely characters. I couldn't find a duck in a room full of ducks.

I was there on Saturday with casual shoes and was able to dodge the really wet areas where rubber boots were needed, and got to see the Kentucky, but did not get any clear shots of it.

Thanks Shortsighted.  I wouldn't let the water deter you for the visiting the Wet Woods.
