Yellow-throated Vireo #168

I was just looking this one up, futile, until a friend named it for me. I only saw it for a second or two, long enough for a couple of photos and it was gone.  iBird fun facts:  This little bird is on the decline due to spraying of trees with toxic chemicals where they forage for food, mainly insects.   This is an old one for the bird books first described in 1808 by Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot, a French ornithologist.
