Went to My Daughter and SIL's place today knowing that Sandhill's generally nest on their place or the neighbors. Wasn't disappointed as they were feeding in an emergent field of corn across the road, and highly visible.

The Woodie was a bonus. The vireo was maybe a miracle.

Have been recording the sound of the Warbling Vireo almost everywhere I've gone in the past week. If they're visible at all, they've just been a too brief unidentifiable blip of movement in the trees.
This afternoon, daughter and I were sitting by the pond when 2 clearly visible and identifiable Vireos flitted out of the trees and landed briefly on an arbor archway.
Not much bird to feel so big over, but I was as happy with the Vireos as I was the Sandhills.

Used the SIL's camera to get a shot of one Sandhill.
