Thanks for posting the photos. Has anyone heard this bird call? Those photos look more like a juvenile White-eyed Vireo than a Bell's to me. I have never seen a Bell's Vireo with that bold a white stripe above the eye, or so much of an eyering going behind the eye. Bell's face always strikes me as really dull (like a Warbling Vireo) with only a thin dark line through the eye to break it up. This guy has spectacles, a white throat, and a dark cheek, with only a hint of a dark line behind the eye in one photo and not in the others.
