Field Notes

Habitat:

Normally high up in the forest canopy, this bird came down to eye level to feast on a juicy moth meal.

Notes:

The Blue-headed Vireo is a common and vocal bird of northeastern forests. Formerly lumped as a "Solitary Vireo" with the more western Plumbeous and Cassin's vireos, it is now considered a separate species.
