The White-eyed Vireo was seen very early in the am yesterday, 7/24, by
Susan Plankis, about 7:00 a.m, close to the trail, in an area several
yards south of the "clearing".  It was moving about, making short calls,
in an oak tree, which was in a thicket on the west side of the trail.
She had a good look at the bird. 
 
For the rest of us who tried to find the bird after Susan observed it,
the vireo was heard singing (once) and calling (3 or 4 times) on both
sides of the trail for most of the morning, without emerging from the
bushes and trees behind the clearing, except possibly once, in low
light, so it couldn't be clearly identified. The space between song/
calls was very long (up to 45 minutes).     
 
The clearing is 200 yards south of marker  #29 on the horse/dog trail at
Murphy-Hanrehan Park Preserve. The trail is to your left after you go
down the hill from the parking lot. This section of Murphy-Hanrehan  is
off of Sunset Lake Blvd.
