Genus Vireo

 

Black-whiskered vireo - The breeding habitat is open deciduous wooded areas and cultivation, and in Florida also mangroves. The Black-whiskered Vireo builds a cup nest in a fork of a tree branch, and lays 2-3 white eggs.

 

Black-capped Vireo - The Black-capped Vireo, Vireo atricapilla, is a small bird native to the United States and Mexico. It has been listed as an endangered species in the United States since 1987. The IUCN lists the species as vulnerable.

 

Bell's greenlet - This bird was named by Audubon for John Graham Bell, who accompanied him on his trip up the Missouri River in the 1840s.

 

Slaty Vireo - It differs from all other vireos in its predominantly slate gray plumage and long tail. These distinctions once afforded it its own genus, Neochloe. It also has green feather edgings on its wings and tail. Its eyes, belly, and chin are snow white, offsetting the otherwise dark gray plumage.

 

St. Andrew Vireo - It is a small bird, 12.5 cm in length. It is olive-green above and whitish or pale yellow below. It has two white bars on the wing, pale edges to the flight-feathers and a pale yellow stripe between the bill and eye. The eye is grey-brown.

 

Yellow-winged Vireo - This vireo occurs from 2000 m to the timberline in the canopy of mountain forest, sometimes feeding in undergrowth or tall second growth. The small cup nest is built in the fork of a small branch 3–20 m high in a tree or scrub and the clutch is two dark-spotted white eggs. Both sexes construct the nest, incubate the eggs and feed the young.

 

Cassin's Vireo - The vireo is 11–14 cm in length, with a gray head, back, and flanks, and whitish underparts. It has solid white "spectacles" and white wing bars.

 

Thick-billed Vireo - This vireo frequents bushes and shrubs in tropical thickets. The grass-lined nest is a neat cup shape, attached to a fork in a tree or bush branch. 2-3 dark-spotted white eggs are laid. Both the male and female incubate the eggs.

 

Yellow-throated greenlet - Adults are mainly olive on the head and upperparts with a yellow throat and white belly; they have dark eyes with yellow "spectacles". The tail and wings are dark with white wing bars. They have thick blue-grey legs and a stout bill.

 

Yellow-green Vireo - The Yellow-green Vireo, Vireo flavoviridis, is a small passerine bird. It breeds from southern Texas in the United States and the western and eastern mountain ranges of northern Mexico south to central Panama. It is migratory, wintering in the northern and eastern Andes and the western Amazon basin.

 

Eastern Warbling-Vireo - Its breeding habitat is open deciduous and mixed woods from Alaska to Mexico and the Florida Panhandle. It often nests along streams. It migrates to Mexico and Central America.

 

White-eyed Vireo - Populations on the US Gulf coast and further south are resident, but most North American birds migrate south in winter.

 

Cuban Vireo - The Cuban Vireo is a species of bird in the Vireonidae family that is endemic to Cuba. Its natural habitats are dry forests, lowland moist forests, xeric shrublands, and heavily degraded former forest.

 

Hutton's greenlet - It is found from southern British Columbia in Canada to central Guatemala in Central America. Recent DNA studies suggest this species may be split into at least 2 different species, with coastal Pacific birds showing enough genetic variation when compared to interior ones.

 

Golden Vireo - The Golden Vireo is a species of bird in the Vireonidae family. It is endemic to Mexico. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests and subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests.

 

Puerto rican vireo - The Puerto Rican Vireo has a gray head, a white breast and a yellowish belly. The species measures, on average, 12 cm and weighs from 11 to 12 grams .

 

Brown-capped Vireo - The Brown-capped Vireo, Vireo leucophrys, is a small passerine bird. It breeds in highlands from southern Mexico south to northwestern Bolivia. It is sometimes considered to be conspecific with the similar Warbling Vireo.

 

Vireo masteri - The species was not described until 1996.

 

Jamaican Vireo - The Jamaican Vireo is a species of bird in the Vireonidae family. It is endemic to Jamaica. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, subtropical or tropical moist montane forests, and heavily degraded former forest.

 

Flat-billed Vireo - The Flat-billed Vireo is a species of bird in the Vireonidae family. It is found in the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.

 

Dwarf Vireo - Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical high-altitude shrubland.

Red-eyed Vireo - The Red-eyed Vireo, Vireo olivaceus, is a small American songbird, 13-14 cm in length. It is somewhat warbler-like but not closely related to the New World warblers . Common across its vast range, this species is not considered threatened by the IUCN.

 

Mangrove Vireo - The Mangrove Vireo is a species of bird in the Vireonidae family. It is found in Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forests, subtropical or tropical mangrove forests, and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland.

 

Philadelphia Vireo - Adults are mainly olive-brown on the upperparts with yellow underparts; they have dark eyes and a grey crown. There is a dark line through the eyes and a white stripe just over them. They have thick blue-grey legs and a stout bill.

 

Plumbeous Vireo - The Plumbeous Vireo is 4.75 inches in length, with a gray head, back, and flanks, and whitish underparts. It has a solid white eye ring and white wing bars.

 

Blue-headed vireo - Adults are mainly olive on the upperparts with white underparts and yellowish flanks; they have a grey head, dark eyes with white "spectacles" and white wing bars. They have a stout bill and thick blue-grey legs. This bird, along with the Cassin's Vireo and Plumbeous Vireo, were formerly known as the "Solitary Vireo".

 

Gray greenlet - This vireo frequents dry brush, especially juniper, on the slopes of the southwestern mountains.
