Media notes
Four successive cuts of a vagrant White-eyed Vireo that showed up, singing, in our yard. I followed it from downstream of “Sapsucker Spa” around through our driveway and up canyon to above Richard’s office, where it went silent and seemed to move off up canyon at 7:45am. Background includes: White-winged Dove, Gambel’s Quail, House Finches, Scott’s Oriole, Mourning Dove, Ladder-backed Woodpecker, Cactus Wren, W. Wood-Pewee, White-throated Swift, Common Raven. Recorded using a Fostex FR-2LE with a Sennheiser ME62 & Telinga Universal 22" parabola.
Observation details
A vagrant White-eyed Vireo showed up at 7:15am, singing, in our yard. REW and I followed it from downstream of “Sapsucker Spa” around through our driveway and up canyon to above Richard’s office, where it went silent and seemed to move off up canyon at 7:45am. I saw well it a couple of times as it moved through the mesquites and got some diagnostic recordings, attached. The last time we had a White-eyed Vireo in the yard was in May of 2015. Our first yard record was 7jul2009, when one singing bird moved through the yard, heading up creek.
