Observation details
Continuing at location first reported by Lev Frid . Thanks to Ezra Campanelli for detailed site descriptor. Appearance is perhaps suggestive of Cassin's Vireo, but song and call were repeatedly ID as YT Vi by Merlin and BirdNET . When location was “changed” to Western SIerra's, reported as No Match (ie- did not ID as CaVi or PlVi). Recordings posted are from bird seen calling in photos. Never heard any vocalizations resembling typical BH Vi song / calls. Never had clear visualization of 2nd bird , reported by some as a YT Vi, although at times did hear a 2nd YT Vi . When nest was finally found and photographed - bird on nest had bluish-gray head. White balance for photos has been corrected/standardized . Overall impression - - agree with others suggesting that the bird is most likely a YT x BH Hybrid , and not a Cassin's Vireo
