Although we divide time into nice equal parts like the seasons where June 21 is the first day of summer.  We also know that birds breed in spring.  Well its not that simple.

Plumbeous Vireo

This little bird is about 5.75" long with a wing span of 10" and only weighs .63oz (18g) but like warblers they are constantly moving in search of insects.  I first saw this bird on Dec 31, 2011 a few days after it showed up at the Santa Cruz Court house which is located along the San Lorenzo River.
