This morning at the old townsite near the airport, a Philadelphia Vireo singing in an area of tall birches. I could only get fleeting glimpses among the leaves but I think the recording is convincing.

Had a singing Philadelphia Vireo at the Gros Morne Mountain Tailhead this morning too. I've had pretty good evidence of breeding at the same spot in past (i.e. a courting pair).

Early yesterday morning I had a singing vireo at Capstan Island but wasn't sure about ID. After reviewing recording and observing sound graph, my ears believe it to be a Philadelphia Vireo. Gaps between each note are about one second longer than the similar sounding Red-eyed Vireo. Comments from Vireo aficionados are much welcomed.

I just listened to your vireo recording and agree that it is a Philadelphia. It is high pitched, short upslurred (happy) phrases, long pauses between.
In the lower Churchill River valley, particularly around Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Philadelphia Vireos are very regular in small but relatively good numbers for this species always in low densities where it breeds.
