Vireo Solitarus is known as the Solitary Vireo and also the  Blue-headed 
Vireo.  The AOU checklist has it recorded as the BHV.  My  copy of Stokes Field 
Guide (copyright 1996) lists it as Solitary V., so the name  change probably 
happened in the not-too-distant past.   
 
As for matching the song and the birds, Stokes' Field Guide is a great  
companion to the Elliott & Stokes Bird Song CDs and I use them for just this  
purpose.

Is the  blue-headed vireo the one singing a song that sounds like a red-eyed
vireo  with breaks between the phrases? I thought there was such a bird as  a
solitary vireo, and that he sang that song. But I don't see him on the  daily
field card or in my Peterson's guide, so I'm guessing he was a victim  of a
re-naming scheme. Is this correct?
Does anyone have any tips for  learning the vireos? I have a hard time
finding them to get a good look at  them and connect a song with a face, and
some of them I've never heard that  I know of (yellow-throated, Philadelphia,
white-eyed). I've heard a  pnemonic for warbling but never heard a song in
the field that matched it,  to my ear. 
Any and all tips welcome!  
Thanks,
