Red-eyed Vireo
Vireo olivaceus
(L 6" WS 10" Wt 0.6 oz)
Columbus Park
Chicago
Doing its part to help the forest,
Ridding the forest of harmful insects.
And over there in a huge green tree,
A little red-eyed vireo, merrily sits.
(Carol B Tyre)
Heard more than seen...sings con-
tinuously from dawn to dusk holding
record for most songs in a day.
