135. VIREOSYLVIA OLIVACEA.. 



RED-EYED VIREO. ** 



This Vireo is found throughout the whole of Eastern North 

 America. 



It builds a pensile nest, suspending it from the small forks of a 

 forest tree, at heights ranging from ten to fifty feet. It is cup- 

 shape and very strongly made of fine strips of bark, hempen fibres, 

 pieces of hornets' nests and the webs of spiders and caterpillars. 

 These are all glued together with the saliva of the bird. It is 

 lined with fine grasses and hair. These nests are so durable that 

 they resist the storms of winter, and are often occupied by the 

 same birds a second season. 



The eggs four, sometimes five in number have a pure white 

 ground-color sparingly sprinkled with fine dots of dark reddish- 

 brown, chiefly at the larger end. They measure .78 by .60.
