While birding early yesterday afternoon in Confluence Park I encountered
what I think may have been a yellow-throated vireo. It definitely was
not a verdin, whatever it was. The bird was determinedly stuck in the
thick tamarisk at the right base of the remaining intact foot bridge
across the river (i.e., on the right side of the river as one proceeds
down stream) and no amount of pishing could get it to show much more
than it's head and upper back, and then only for a second or two at
best. The bird was a small yellow bird with a dirty yellow-gray upper
back and head and bright yellow spectacles around each eye and across
the bridge of its black bill. I did not get the chance to observe its
wings to look for wing bars or to inspect its rump or belly. I managed
to catch fleeting glimpses of its upper body four or five times before
it forever disappeared in the murky depths of the dense brush.
