A less common bird than the Red-eye, but like it generally distributed
through woodland, garden and orchard. It's song resembles the Red-eye's
in form but is richer in tone, more deliberately uttered, and not
continuous. "See me--I'm here--where are you?" he seems to say, and
after a pause repeats the query.
The nest has the deep cup-shape of our other Vireo's but is externally
covered with lichens. The eggs, laid the latter part of May, are white
with a few specks of black or brown.
