vireo
Small insect-eating bird
A vireo is a small songbird found in the Americas, typically olive-green or grayish with a stout bill.
Vireos are known for their persistent singing—males often repeat simple phrases throughout the day.
The name comes from a Latin word for a greenish bird.
A red-eyed vireo sang from the canopy.
