Jewels of the Woods

The season of the wood warblers and vireos is here. Although they are plentiful they are still not easy to see. Watch for a quick movement in the leaves, a shadow flying across a thicket, a flickering in the corner of your eyes. Then keep looking in that direction and you may be lucky. Pishing may lure them out into the open, but only briefly until they have satisfied themselves that you can safely be ignored.

Until next week then, happy birding!
