[cobirds] Yellow-throated and Plumbeous Vireos Chatfield

This afternoon, I was able to watch the Yellow-throated and Plumbeous Vireos.  Most the time they would forage high in the cottonwoods before announcing their presents near the nest.  Every once in a while they would forage low and collect nesting material.  I only witnessed the Yellow-throated in the nest while the Plumbeous would sing nearby.  Thank you to everyone on the Wild Birds Unlimited/RMBO field trip for finding these birds and to Larry, Norm, and Joe for getting the word out!  Photos of this pair can be seen in the rare to uncommon gallery below:
