Typically this species pulses through in large numbers from mid-September through to early October, with birds known to linger in favoured migrant haunts well into October.<!--more--> Last fall, there was a significant movement in Ottawa which occurred on, I believe, September 15th (can&#8217;t find these particular notes at the moment) where 5-6 Blue-headed Vireos were reported by multiple observers from numer<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">ous birding hotspots throughout the city. By late September, Blue-headed Vireos are pulsing through at their peak migration through southern Ontario. Blue-headed\u2019s have great character and are often quite vocal during migration. Perhaps it&#8217;s the first year birds which are the most \u201cchatty,\u201d tending to merge their rambling song bouts with squeaks and chatters. One call (I&#8217;ve often) heard during fall migration is the &#8220;teeweh&#8221; call. It is an adorable call, and it&#8217;s almost as if the sound was produced by a pet&#8217;s squeak toy of some kind. If a Blue-headed is producing this sound, and this sound alone, from a canopy, it&#8217;s potentially a real head-scratcher if a birder is not familiar with it. Here is a sample of the call:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.xeno-canto.org\/87745\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;-U&quot;}\" data-lynx-mode=\"asynclazy\" data-lynx-uri=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.xeno-canto.org%2F87745&amp;h=AT3W5QBh7zZTAEx7NI8-hIJksiXrnagIMxaxcwh_ZgpyE25OY610OUOOhdsUhla9Af21Dj1f_pvc5Cr9LtLiQiSKVSxdRp2rozdR7DfhZQyg6WuYHEYWOhr9zgE6mLRVR9XkwkubXLX0paGyCIs\">http:\/\/www.xeno-canto.org\/87745<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eontbird.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13177688_10206635073339432_5571729219061455098_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3329 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/eontbird.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13177688_10206635073339432_5571729219061455098_n-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"13177688_10206635073339432_5571729219061455098_n\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eontbird.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13177688_10206635073339432_5571729219061455098_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eontbird.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13177688_10206635073339432_5571729219061455098_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/eontbird.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13177688_10206635073339432_5571729219061455098_n-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eontbird.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/13177688_10206635073339432_5571729219061455098_n.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Happy Fall Birding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peak Blue-headed Vireo migration is just around the corner here in eastern Ontario.
