Photographed at the Laguna Seca Ranch in deep South Texas May 7, 2019.

Searched NatureScapes files and Philadelphia Vireos are not posted very often.  My book showed a small blue line indicating their migration route and it just happened to be right over the ranch and I was lucky enough to be there when he decided to stop for a drink.

Another gorgeous image, Gene! I like everything about the image, particularly the inquisitive look and head tilt. Excellent.

The look is super nice and everything else is the same.

This is so cool. Love the tilted head, angled perch and nice background.

Exquisite - an unusual catch + fine detail + great vine+ nice BG, bright eye and delightful pose.
One for "Birds and Blooms" if you're into that...
