Blue-headed vireo.

Blue-headed vireo, Sept 30, 2020, Rondeau Provincial Pak, Ontario, Canada.


Vireo solitarius
During summer, Blue-headed Vireos forage in the canopy of mature forests. They sing frequently, but it helps to learn how to distinguish their songs from Yellow-throated, Red-eyed, and Philadelphia Vireos.
The oldest recorded Blue-headed Vireo was at least 6 years, 5 months old. It was banded in Ontario and found in Guatemala.
