[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Solitary Vireo---i think by description. Olive green above and white below,with dull yellow flanks.

Habitat: Coniferous and mixed forests.
I spotted it in a crab apple tree..

Field Guide: This species was formerly called the "Blue-headed Vireo." handosme and distinctively patterned, it is known to most people as a fairly common migrant. It is extraordinarily tame and seems to ignore humans near it's nests. Frequently and incubating bird will allow itself to be touched. Like other vireos, it moves slowly and deliberately through the trees, peering with head cocked to one side in search of insects..

The season is changing nights cooler less insects and have a feeling these little fellows will not be here for very long..

Hi Jane,

The focus on this bird can only be described as perfect. Nice pose, composition and that background really complements the image. Well done.

Hi Jane,

This is very nice!! Excellent pose, focus, colors, details and composition. I love the blowing feathers. I haven't seen a Warbler or Vireo since the heat arrived in Arizona. I know how hard it is to capture one in the open like this and not fluttering around.

Exceptional image Jane,
Very sharp and detailed, captured in a very nice pose showing off it's beautiful plumage. Nice eye contact!
At first glance I thought this was a female Goldfinch, but the coloring on the head is not the same. Great job!!
