Indeed it is. Is this a recent shot? How long do Blue-headed Vireos remain in Vermont as fall approaches?

I took this shot about 10:30am this morning in my yard, I was walking around the perimeter hoping to get a shot of a red breasted nuthatch when this vireo flew into view.

Nice picture! It's definitely a blue-headed vireo - note the "white spectacles".
