I saw my first white-eyed vireo today as well. Blue gray gnat catchers were busy in the red bud tree and a black and white warbler showed itself on a sweet gum tree. There were other birds visiting that I could not identify and that was fine. It was just a joy to see them.
All of the new visitors have traveled thousands of miles to visit and bring me joy. The stories they could tell if only they could talk.
I think migration is a miracle and I am so grateful for the birds that bless me with either a visit or a stay for the summer. Merlin heard a summer tanager, but I have not seen one yet.
