Observation date: 5/8/11
Notes: A lot of lucky people were at this morning's walk at Higbee so we split into two groups. The Horn-half was treated to close-up views of singing White-eyed vireos and chipping Prairie Warblers. Yellow-breasted Chats could be heard from almost anywhere on the property as they whistled, clicked and chattered from tree tops in between display flights.
