WHITE-EYED VIREO 



April i, 18Q5 

 (Georgia) 



THIS vireo is the last one of the vireos 

 (except Bell's) which I have learned 

 to know. I have seen and heard sing, two 

 of them this morning, and certainly they 

 are the most extraordinary of the family 

 as far as song goes. It is a curious sput- 

 tering performance, resembling that of the 

 catbird, "only more so." This is the clown 

 vireo, surely, and April ist is an ap- 

 propriate day to become acquainted with 

 them. This species is as small as the war- 

 bling vireo.
