Little Rock, Arkansas — Boyle Park
Boyle Park sits in a valley in the center of town. It is heavily wooded with deciduous trees and pines. A creek cuts through the park and a dam creates a small pond. I was walking down one of the paths near the pond when I spotted the White-eyed Vireo. It was moving fairly quickly, usually about five feet off the ground. It came within fifteen feet of where I stood.
