There are flycatchers.

There are bushtits.

And there are vireos!
This is a Warbling Vireo. You can tell the difference between a Warbling Vireo and other types by the faint line that goes from the right of his eye to the back of his head.

They can be hard to capture because they move around so much. According to my guidebook, their song is “iggly wiggly iggly piggly iggly eek!”

I was lucky to get these three shots.
