Title: Bluebird, Yellow-throated Vireo & Bobolinks
Post by: Brian Bailey on May 21, 2010, 10:28:44 PM

Here are a few difficult to find birds from last weekend.  They're not stellar photos, but I've never had such clear views of a Yellow-throated Vireo, and the Bluebird was unusually cooperative.  I used to think of Bobolinks as common birds, but more recently, I don't see them some years.

These are all heavily cropped.  I wasn't that close.
