Wow. Mrs_Ed, you are on a roll! Wonderful birds.

I got home from a songbird festival at one of our national wildlife refuges. I also visited a couple of state parks and a private landowner's property. I think I forgot more birds than I wrote down. I really need a better way to document what I'm seeing. Maybe I should start a thread asking what others do...

Here's what I did manage to write down. The thrill of the trip was seeing the two endangered species, the Black-capped vireo and the Golden-cheeked Warbler. I got good looks at both along with a decent photo of the vireo and a lousy one of the warbler.
