Index of Subjects I was about an hour behind you, Suzanne. I dipped on the Vireo, but did see a Ruby crowned Kinglet not far from there.

We parked on Thornhill Dr. just past the foot of Athlone, across from the first driveway into the Church; and checked the top of the footpath.(East side of Thornhill across from Church). Nothing. We worked our way down the steep path checking all the multiflora bushes - nothing - no Chat. Then I started along the path to the left, and about 50 meters ahead of me on the righthand side (East - towards the Highway)) I saw a tiny pale grayish bird basking in the sun on the branches of a red-leafed shrub. (close to a white house). From a distance it looked a little bit like a Tennessee Warbler, but Fulton had warned us that the Vireo was very light and drab looking - like an Orange-crowned or Tennessee. The bird dropped down out of sight and no amount of pishing brought it up again. Pat and I carefully walked in a ways to check lower branches, but no > luck. > > Given the fact that no one else saw the Vireo today, this May or May Not have been the Bell's Vireo. > > Suzanne Borkowski > > > > >
