I started at Jenkins Estate this morning. I had heard that Red Crossbills were seen there yesterday. I didn't see any, but I was glad I went. I have never explored this park and it is beautiful. There are wooded trails as well as a tended gardens.

ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I agree with your vireo ID.
What a beautiful place for birding. The flowers are gorgeous and I love the cute bird in the nest. The Merganser family is a cool sighting. Wonderful post and photos. Have a Happy Memorial Day.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous photos. What beautiful woods, gardens and feathered friends.
ReplyDeleteOoh I missed this post- love the little Purple Finch head and a vireo on a nest! So cool. That swallow on the fence- is that a Northern Rough-winged?!
ReplyDeleteI thought it might be and Laura confirmed that it very well could be. Cool!
