I only saw her because the movement of a Northern Mockingbird in the same dogwood drew my attention to the spot. But then, I could see her fairly well for several minutes, and watched as she ate berries, not moving from that choice position in the tree. She was deep, dull olive-yellow all over, with wings slightly darker, and a stout, pointed bill. A thin, faint ring around the dark eye gave her a wide-eyed, watchful look.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the day, early afternoon, a Black-throated Green Warbler among the leaves of white oaks in the back yard was much harder to see.
