A white-eyed vireo [vireo griseus] migrating through Middle Alabamaland? I thought at first it could be a Connecticut warbler or maybe a ruby-crowned kinglet, but Birmingham birder Gregory J. Harber gave me a quick ID via e-mail on the ALBIRDS Yahoo listserv. I was trying to get an angle on one of the handsome female grosbeaks here for the past three or four days, but gave up and went around to catch a monarch butterfy in the bush, when this little white-eyed vireo flew right into the butterfly bush. So I started popping pictures in a burst until it flew off, maybe catching a dozen shots, two serviceable ones. This one is the best.
