Funny Little Bird

North Augusta, ON

This little bird didn't sit still for long. Had a very erratic flying pattern, flew a straight line but erratic, like he kept losing altitude every couple of feet.

I know it isn't the best shot but I've seen y'all id a bird with less :)) so I thought I'd give it a try.

It's a Red-eyed Vireo. I considered Philadelphia Vireo, but this is definitely Red-eyed.

Tricky, but I think I'd favour Philadelphia, as the head pattern is fairly weak, and the bill fairly small. Red-eyed has a heavier bill and strong head pattern.

Thank you both :))

I'll try for a better picture if I see him again.

Thanks! Makes me more sure that 3G's is Philly, not Red-eyed.
