Nancy, Donna, and all,
I have found that Red-eyed Vireos will often sing right up to their departure time. There's a White-throated Sparrow flight call at the very end of the recording.

Exactly what another person thought: RE Vireo. Unusual in the low alders but they are versatile. It wasn’t the normal endless, steady chant of the vireo (this was all I heard from that bird) so perhaps an immature/subsong? There are still a lot of RE Vireos singing around my area (E Dalhousie, Kings). But I find they keep it up to some degree until leaving in Fall.

Thanks for taking a listen.

Nancy

I assume they are nesting for the second, perhaps third nest.  (I can't bear to think that they are unmated males who have been singing with this sort of enthusiasm all through the season.)  Perhaps someone else can add to this.
