Eastern Warbling Vireo photographed at Collinsville, CT — Hopped quietly along leafy branches high in the trees, stopping on an open perch to hunt for insects. Unlike twitchy, hyperactive warblers, vireos take their time and search leaves at a much calmer pace. They spend the summer nesting in New England near rivers and lakes before flying south for the winter.
