This morning I birded Font Hill. I spent the first 1.5 hours with
almost no activity. At 8:30 however a little movement began and it
turned into a wonderful morning. I spent about 30 minutes stationary
watching a little pocket of birds moving a feeding all around me, then
the most delightful thing happened! In a leafless sapling about 8 feet
before me an immature REDSTART dropped down to eye level and caught a
moth right before me. It seemed to be watching me and appeared quite
tame. Then a BLACK THROATED GREEN appeared and flitted before me and
then a RED-EYE VIREO! It was such a special treat to see the vireo so
close and how exquisite he was. I always relish those "close encounters"
and find them the most exciting part of birding.
	Other interesting sightings were GREAT CRESTED FLYCATHER, B-G
GNATCATHER, SCARLET TANAGER and SAVANNAH SPARROW (yea the're coming!).
