Jeff Wendorff's bird photography portfolio of vireos from the family, Vireonidae.
Vireo WikiThe
vireos /ˈvɪri.oʊz/ make up a family, Vireonidae, of small to medium-sized passerine birds (mostly) restricted to the New World. "
Vireo" is a Latin word referring to a green migratory bird.
Vireos are typically dull-plumaged and greenish in color, the smaller species resembling wood warblers apart from their heavier bills.
Most
Vireo species are found in Middle America and northern South America. Thirteen species of true vireos occur farther north, in the United States, Bermuda and Canada; of these all but Hutton's vireo are migratory. Members of the family seldom fly long distances except in migration. They inhabit forest environments, with different species preferring forest canopies, undergrowth, or mangrove swamps.
