About 2 weeks ago, I was hiking through the woods (mature mixed hillside
bordering mature black ash near a lake) a few miles from Scenic State Park in
Itasca County. I heard a bird sing several times over the course of a minute
or two as I approached. I have only heard recordings of White-eyed Vireo, but
this sounded very similar. It was definitely not the typical song of any of
the usual vireos in the area. It was a click or chip, followed by a
warble-like song, followed by another click or chip. When I approached
closely, it stopped singing and several chickadees came into the area, making
it difficult for me to try and find it in the trees. It did not sound like
anything I am used to hearing in the woods up here. I'd go back, but it's kind
of a pain to get to the area (no trail). Any ideas? A White-eyed Vireo would
be really unusual up here.
