Lynne,


Your bird high in the tree tops could be an indigo bunting based on your description.  Also, sure sounds like a blue-headed vireo to me.

Subject: [UVB] White-throated not white-crowned sparrows in Fairlee

Yes, I mis-named our Sam Peabody bird yesterday, the result of many summers on Labrador's coastal tundra where the sweet, plaintive song of the White-crowned sparrow was sound-track for the immense landscape. Now I need to look the two up every spring to remind myself which name goes with which bird.

Today I heard a song new to me and couldn't see the songster high in the treetops. It was a sort of cheap cheap twitter twitter followed by a melodious three-note phrase repeated three times, sort of like towhee but different words and inflections than towhee. Ideas anyone? Yesterday heard what sounded like a vireo -- blue-headed maybe?: variable short phrases, longer pauses between them than red-eyed.
