Observation details

Handsome yellow-toned vireo, with grayish head, white eye arcs and a faint dark eyeline, especially in front of the eye. A prominent buffy wing bar was visible from a distance. Vireo-style beak, thicker than a warbler's, with a small hooked tip; bill appears to be bicolored. Plenty of warblers around to cause confusion and make sure you were looking hard enough at the right bird. Seen repeatedly on and off for over 2 hours from the paved path behind the visitor center. It was most frequent from the area at the beginning of the Raptor Trail (near parking lot) around the same patch of woods past the pollinator garden, the small pool with platform, to the boardwalk. Most often appearing around the west side of the woods. Thanks Rob, and others present, all helping each other get on the bird!
