Hi, Joined this listserve just a month ago. I am prompted to respond for the first time as I walk in Whetstone and along the bike trail in Columbus nearly every day. Yesterday, I saw a white eyed vireo. My first so it was pretty special as I got a long and close look at it and it was singing. Then today, another first....a yellow-throated vireo in the picnic grove. Another close look. You never know what you are going to see so I am with my binoculars from March on when I walk.
