Solitary Vireo? S.E. PA., USA (1 Viewer)

[Kelly Colgan Azar]

Here I am again, with my usual pegging-your-pardon. Is this a Solitary Vireo?
Shot today in southeast Pennsylvania, U.S. Millions of thanks, as always!

It has to be a Blue-headed Vireo. Although it has lost part of it's glasses.

Solitary (aka Blue Headed) it is.
Nice shot.

Blue Headed Vireo isn't even in my field guide, copyright 1980. Hahah, apparently it would have been referred to as a "solitary vireo," back in the day. Thank you very much! I could have dated myself, my field guide and made a fool of myself all at once by calling it a solitary. I appreciate your help!!!

Hi Kelly,

Yes, it's a Blue-headed Vireo. (FYI: Solitary Vireo is an old name and the complex has now been split into three separate species; the eastern version is BHV.)

Best,
Jim
