I arrived at Sabine Woods about 12:30 PM and I was quickly pointed to the
right spot for the Tropical Mockingbird. That out of the way I started
hunting for the Black-whiskered Vireo. Over the next 5.5 hrs I found 4 species
of Vireo but could not find a whisker on any of them. There were quite a
few people looking for it including a few who saw it yesterday several times.
When I left at 6:30 PM there was no sign of it but there were 8-10 cars
still in the parking area. There were reports it had been seen earlier this
mourning but not in the afternoon. List for the afternoon below and a link to
pictures of the Mockingbird with 2 in flight and a few others.
