BIRDS: We all flock together

In response to Mr. Shackelford’s letter (Jan. 17), there are a few other northern varieties of vireo you may be observing — Blue-headed Vireo, Plumbeous Vireo or Cassin’s Vireo.

I recommend the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North America as a helpful reference. I also think it’s wonderful that you have such a great neighborhood to the north.

We are also fortunate to have wonderful neighbors who check on our flock and care for one another through random acts of kindness and sharing of our garden bounty, tools and resources. It cannot be expressed enough, what a gracious and wonderful community we live in and how blessed we are to call it home.
