Recently saw a vireo, and the flicker, though I am not sure about the date.
A journal of backyard bird sightings based in Ontario, Canada. I read somewhere that most people can recognize dozens of companies' logos, but can only name a few types of local birds. In the spring of 2011, I began watching the migrating warblers and other birds from my window. This led me to ask how many bird species - and which ones - I see in a year.

the vireo / October 8
A few birds today, including one I haven't identified yet, though I think it was a vireo of some sort. It was small, with a cream belly, grey head, olive back/yellow-olive sides, thin black eye bars with a white bar between, lower beak lighter (grey) than upper (black).
Common birds: downy woodpecker, chickadee, house sparrow
Fall visitors: ruby-crowned kinglet, golden-crowned kinglet
Uncertain: vireo?
