While fishing along a willow-lined creek, I saw a Bell's Vireo (year bird number 181). It was carrying a small green caterpillar in its bill and was obviously agitated by my presence. After a short time, a second bird showed up, this one also carrying a caterpillar and upset with me being there. This indicated that they had a nest in the willows, so I moved on to leave them in peace and try my luck elsewhere.
