I had lost a lot of my recent notes so would have posted more sightings here recently. Unfortunately in most cases, when I update my blog is a week+ after the sighting. I was happy to find a notable bird on my own since I have been largely checking out ebird etc for rare bird sightings. Neat the Pittsburgh Ave entrance at the preserve, there's a large tree with berries in the fall that attracts a lot of songbirds, mostly Robins, Catbirds, Cedar Waxwings, Scarlett Tanager, Red Eye Vireo etc. When checking out the action I saw a thrush of some type (Swainson's?) in the mix but in the shrubby area to the right/ north of the tree I glimpsed a quick view of what I'm fairly certain was a Philly Vireo (saw the "eyeline" and yellowish front) I also saw a Ruby Crowned Kinglet which more will follow.
