The Hooded warbler that nests across the road from us, sings daily well into
September. However, his song is a weaker version of the so called "dawn or
alternate song", which he sings off and on throughout the day. I've also
been hearing the call notes of red-eyed vireos fairly regularly, possibly
young ones. We don't have warbling vireo habitat here. The Tennessee
warblers also sing a weaker version of their song.

Bill Volkert recently instucted us that hormonal changes prior to migration
may be responsible, or that as Sandy mentions, they need to teach the young
their song. Sounds reasonable, but why aren't more species of birds
participating? I know Warbling Vireos are prolific singers, but so are
Robins, Cardinals, Red-eyed Vireos, etc. and we hardly here a peep out of
them.

Ok, all!
Are they still singing just for the joy of it
or to keep their mate/family nearby
or to teach the young their song
or ???

This morning I birded Sheridan Park (no unusual sightings) and there wereBirding
at
least two Warbling Vireos singing. These were not half-hearted songs, but
robust renditions. It seemed so out of place for mid-September and one
non-birding couple asked what bird was making that song. Nothing else
seemed
to be singing, but the Warbling Vireos made it seem like it was spring! I
spent 3 hours at the park, and when I left, at least one of the birds was
still warbling away.

Hi all!
Wednesday this week was the last day I heard the Warbling Vireo warble in
my yard.
It had been one concert after another on a daily basis all summer.
I missed it right away.
This morning there was a W.V. doing a half-heated warble at the nearby
park.
Just moving through?
A kid practicing?
Happy fall birding
