Gene, vol 3 of the Audubon Master Guide renders Hutton's Vireo Vireo huttoni
song as 'zuwee, zuwoo, zeeoo', but all the birds around Vancouver BC seem to
sing a single repeated phrase, 'tzur-RREEP!' and often do so for long
stretches without pause. Have you noticed any other variations in Hutton's
Vireo songs in this part of Cascadia?
