Black-capped Vireo Surveys Show Continued Recovery
Written by Black Hot Fire Network on September 15, 2023
The black-capped vireo (Vireo atricapilla) is a conversational migratory songbird, with one of the most varied songs in the vireo genus. Males make full use of their song catalogs during the mating season, as they search for mates or defend their small territories. They will flit from branch to low hanging branch, hardly causing the leaves to rustle when they land. Only weighing 9 grams, they are the smallest vireo found in the United States.
If you think you hear one, wait patiently, they are elusive and can be tough to spot in the . . .
