I believe I heard the purple finch vireo song just now, which they apparently only do on migration(?)-- I've heard it a few times but not for a while now. Shortly after I heard purple finch flight call and then after that, a female appeared at the feeder. I checked the web and found this recording which sounds spot on: http://pjdeye.blogspot.com/2009/04/finch-songs.html
Many years ago I spent 20 minutes or so creeping up on that call and finally found a female purple finch at the source. It does sound vireo like but not quite right, which is what got my attention.
