A Bell's Vireo was in Bill Baggs Cape Florida SP this morning. A nearby White-eyed Vireo sang and the Bell's scolded twice, then burst into full song. It stopped singing when the White-eyed stopped. It was at the south end of the dirt Nature Trail, just east of the curve and ~20 yards south of the trail in a Privet. It faded into the dense shrub after singing. I heard a partial song at the same spot on February 1 but never got a visiual, so the bird has been here for a while.

The La Sagra's was very accommodating at 9:05 for PA birders Mary Jane and Margaret. It posed in the small dead tree next to the path, ~120 yards south of the white gate. Great Crested Flycatchers are all over the park (8 in south end) and the La Sagra's was loosely associating with 4 Great Crested's.
