I was at Belle Haven on Sunday morning and we watched the Warbling Vireos for a
while trying to determine whether they were using the nest or not. They went
into the same tree as the nest (it was intact at this time - 8:30am) several
times but never entered the nest. Perhaps they had abandoned it. Bummer.
