We had a Bell's Vireo in the Crab apple tree just off our deck this morning. First indication was its unmistakable song I heard from inside. Then a quick glance revealed him hopping around in the small trees and shrubs.
We also have Cedar Waxwings building a nest in our small Maple tree. Not sure if they are truly nesting now (seems late) or just "practicing". :)
