Red-eyed Vireo 



Warbling Vireo 



624. Red-eyed Vireo — Vireosylva oiivacea. 



Length 6^4 inches. 



A conspicuous white line over eye; no wing- 

 bars; underparts pure white; crown slaty gray, 

 bordered on side with blackish; back, wings and 

 tail olive-green. 



A bird of the woods and shady streets; he peers 

 among the outermost branches, examining especial- 

 ly the under sides of the leaves. His song, 

 peculiarly intermittent and rather loud, may at- 

 tract your attention to the leafy branches above 

 where you will probably search a while before 

 discovering the modestly colored singer. 



627. Warbling Vireo — Vireosylva gilva gilia. 



Length 5^4 inches. 



No wing-bars; upperparts ashy olive-green; 

 underparts white, tinged with yellowish. (See cut.) 



Its smaller size and lack of blackish marking-, 

 on the head should prevent confusing this bird 

 with the Red-eyed Vireo, which it generally re- 

 sembles. The warbling song is unmisakable.
