This photo shows a blue-headed vireo sitting on a branch. I saw this bird in Cobbs Creek Park, on the border of Philadelphia and Upper Darby, just west of the Environmental Education Center.

This bird goes through many postures as it moves through the trees, but it seems to have an upright posture much more often than other vireos, which tend to hunch forward more and be more horizontally-oriented.
