Your pic. inspired me to inquire of you!
Here in my city of Coronado, Ca., the olive trees are now sprayed with something that keeps them from making olives. I have loved watching the birds rejoice with gladness whenever the numerous trees supplied them with their bounty. Now they have nothing. Doesn’t this seem shortsighted to keep the streets clean of olives but not feed the birds?

To promote bird conservation through conservation marketing. By showing people the joys of birding, we hope to bring people and nature together, instead of at odds.

The Blue-headed Vireo was one of my earlier migrants this year. I hadn’t seen one in a long time, so it was quite welcome.
