Fall migration seems to be bringing quite a few Philidelphia Vireos into our area this year.  I have seen many reports on eBird and the GroupMe app. but I wasn't lucky enough to see one this year until today at Bauer Farm in Madison.  It was travelling with 2 Red-eyed Vireos and the birds flew into the brush about 15 feet in front of me.  To my amazement, the Philly stayed a while and took a bath in the dew-covered leaves, right in front of me!

Photos are in my eBird report:  https://ebird.org/checklist/S195385710
