Ruth you are correct in your ID i am sure,as the blue headed vireos are on
the move south, as far as singing i am no expert but it doesn't seem rare
for birds to keep singing, I heard a northern parula singing just like 2
days ago,so just enjoy and I am certain that os why you're blue headed
vireo was singing
