Field Notes

Notes:

The Blue-headed Vireo is a common and vocal bird of northeastern forests. Formerly lumped as a "Solitary Vireo" with the more western Plumbeous and Cassin's vireos, it is now considered a separate species. (Cornell)

Thanks Ashley. We're still getting a few neotropical migrants, but they're thinning out up here.

Great shot, Tom! Hoping to find one of these in a month or two when they make their way back down here, haven't seen one in a very long time!
