Possibly a gray vireo, but I'm not absolutely sure. Someone with better bird ID skills than mine please feel free to comment! On Mt. Davidson above Virginia City, Nevada, USA. Of course, he perched so that he was directly behind the antenna spike--

On the Comstock silver lode, Nevada, USA. From just below the summit of Mt. Davidson. Comstock silver helped finance the Union during the US Civil War, and directly led to Nevada's statehood in 1864--long before any of the other states in the Mountain West. The whole area is now considered a historic site.
