Another Lesser Greenlet, sings a different song high in a tree at El Pizote, near Puerto Viejo de Talamanca (Costa Rica), 6/21/99. He's a member of the Vireo family. Note that the first note of their "normal" song/call is identical to the notes in this call.

Volcan Baru

After he attracts her attention, these Bell's Vireos "duet" this buzzy song together - it's difficult to tell when he's singing and when she joins in.

La Bajada

A Bell's Vireo (Vireo bellii) sings to the object of his affections one Spring day at Peck's Lake [Arizona]. This song is sung over and over, using the two phrases heard here. The first phrase sounds like "I wonder who's kissing her now" (not the song, just the words) to me.

Middle Fork Cosumnes River

The Cassin's Vireo is the other half of the Solitary's split into Plumbeous/Cassin's. This one was just passing through central Arizona on migration, fidgeting it's way through the underbrush at about 5000 ft (1540 M) elevation.

Tikal

Warbling Vireos (Vireo gilvus) breed in the high pine and oak forests of central Arizona, where they sing this song over and over. This one was recorded on Mingus Mountain, near Jerome, Arizona, 5/31/99 at about 7000' (2130 M) elevation.
