Warbling Vireo (Vireo gilvus)

Spring Bird Migration

As the week at the Marshes on the Southern Shore of Lake Erie in Ohio progresses, this very distinctive bird call was teasing me. The call was from a Warbling Vireo, I could get a sense of direction, but could not find it. The trees are in full leaf and I think the birds use this to hide from the mass of birders walking around Maggie Marsh Wildlife Area. This being the “Biggest Week for Birding” in America, and Maggee Marsh is the centre of attraction for the migration of the Warblers, and other birds.
