Red-eyed Vireo

RED-EYED VIREO

Vireo Olivaceus 5.5-6.5"

Cornell Link

Red-eyed Vireos are most easily detected by their song. They are easly confused with Black-whiskered Vireos. Among the more subtle differences is the red eye. They range all throughout most of the United Sates and southern Canada.

One of my favorite things is taking a picture of an unknown bird and then a while later stumbling upon a dead-on match in my Audubon's guide. This is one of those times. This little vireo's eye shows up nicely if you click on the picture.
