At the Drip

It's been another great day in Texas, starting with an amazing morning in Sabine Woods where there was a spectacular showing of spring migrant birds, including at least a dozen warbler species, 4 thrush species, multiple vireos, catbirds, orioles, tanagers and buntings.  Our little group spread out, and I found myself sitting in the woods, being chewed by mosquitos, in the company of HillyBlips where we were treated to an amazing spectacle.  The Audubon has set up several water-drips in the woods and the one we found ourselves situated at was positively alive with activity.

To say that I was spoiled for choices would be an understatement.  I am choosing this lovely white-eyed vireo for today's blip mainly because it didn't require much in the way of editing...and I didn't have the energy to go through some 800 photos!  Plus, it's not a species I often see.  This one had just had a nice bath and was still getting its feathers sorted.  

Off to dinner now and headed to Galveston Island to meet the rest of the group tomorrow.

The adventure continues...
