Observation details
Continuing vireo found by Chef Ito. Seen today in area just northwest of volleyball court in trees near fenced church property. Seemed like Cassin’s with gray head, olive back, whitish underparts, white wingbars. When vireo moved to more light, saw yellow-green sides and “helmet” appeared darker and more contrasting with white below. Did not see a clear demarcation between cheek color and throat. Will seek expert opinion. Only vocalized on one occasion, scratchy sound which alerted us to her/his presence. As a bonus, Pine Warbler nearby during observation. Update: Kimball, Andy and Curtis reviewed photos and agree with slash (bright Cassin's or dull Blue-headed).
