[cobirds] Common Nighthawk & Possible Philadelphia Vireo - Cheesman & Gardens (Denver)

I took my dog for a walk in Little Cheesman around dawn. We were briefly joined by two Common Nighthawk, which flew low, this time over the western (Williams St.) side of the park. They disappeared in that direction.

Later in the morning, I went to the Gardens, which were birdy with an assortment of sparrow. Near the end of my time there, I came across a vireo foraging in a Western River Birch, near the southern edge of Gates Montane Garden pond (point 20 on the map). (Heavily cropped photos are here. Feel free to email if you'd like the originals.) The bird took off in the direction of Cheesman, but I failed to relocate it. The bird looks a lot like the one Chris Rurik and I encountered on the 23rd. Lots of yellow wash and dark lores.  

Apologies, in advance, if this isn't a philly and input, as always, is appreciated.
