Red-eyed Vireo, Emily Murphy Park, August 28, 2009.

This evening was a good evening for small birds at Emily Murphy, I saw all sorts of warblers (not just vireos) and they were fairly elusive, but unfortunately I had to attend a commitment, so I did not manage to capture good pictures of them.

I didn't intend to capture more BC Chickadees (too many and too common), but I couldn't resist a clean close-up shot like this one.

I love how they stretch their bodies completely, especially the legs to reach for the berries!

Every Sunday, I attempted to look for them at around 2-3 pm, but with no luck. This time, I showed up at around 1:45pm after my disappointing Morinville trip. They showed up at exactly 2pm on the berry tree. I also met Ken for the first time.
