A White-eyed Vireo caught my attention with his singing, then he filled his beak with potential nest material.

Unfortunately some of it didn’t want to detach from the tree.

So he pulled…until it snapped…

Then he checked out the underside of the branch to see what else was there.

Nothing there that satisfied him, he took another look around then zipped into the underbrush.
