Dark border to the bluish crown, "bright" green tones and dark primaries suggest other than Warbling Vireo (and Philadelphia too actually). I haven't seen any like this, but here's a Red-eyed Vireo that has a very dull eyestripe and suggests your bird.

I can see why one might think Red-eyed Vireo. But both Philadelphia and Red-eyed Vireo would be out of range in Nevada. Western Warbling Vireos have a darker more contrasting cap than Eastern and the bill seems a bit small for Red-eyed Vireo, so I would go with Warbling.

Yes, but only if images are uploaded to the gallery; there is not at present a way to search for images hidden in threads of this and other fora (isn't that plural of forum?)
In other words, hopefully Maureen will upload the images to the gallery

First, "out of range" doesn't apply to me. LOL My specialty is finding birdies that don't belong here. It's my 5 minutes of fame.
Second, if I didn't delete the images, I will go back and find all the ones from this bird, put them in a gallery on my website, then let you know so you can pick the ones you want uploaded to Opus.
