Philadelphia vireo

[Mousetoescamper]

I had a tough time identifying this bird and consulted a fellow birder (he's been at it for 60+ years). We're going with Philadelphia vireo. A beautiful bird by any name. It's always good to keep in mind that the word is not the thing. The birds care not what we call them. Taken this afternoon from my back deck.

1. Of all your bird photos, this is probably the best one.

Astonishing composition and the quality is first-rate.

Congrats, my dear Mousetoescamper!
