Eddie Callaway, Barbara and I birded Anna Page for several hours this morning. Started with a search for the White-eyed Vireo for Eddie and were successful–it was in the same place as July 4. Proved somewhat problematic to get into view for more than a few seconds as it flitted from treetop to treetop. Seemed to mostly prefer Silver Maple.

After we left the vireo, we found a pretty good supply of Sedge Wrens, and a pair of Orchard Orioles; this pair was different than the pair on July 1 because this was an adult male, and the other had a first year male.

Highlight of the morning, though, was a Bell’s Vireo on the west side of the dam jaws, back along a sumac thicket on the west side of the grass field. A pair of Eastern Kingbirds were at a nest, too. The Bell;s brought our day vireo total to 5. Had an Acadian Flycatcher near Camp Conestoga, and another in the woods behind our house.

Totalled a few more than 60 species.
