Personal stats First observation 📆 2/04/2018 📍 San Antonio, TX Captured media details Male Female Unknown 📸 ✔️ 🎙️ ✔️ Experiences & anecdotes 8/7/2021 - This was the day that the White-eyed Vireo finally cooperated for a blurry, mediocre photo. 3/11/2023 - Because this bird is very vocal and shy, it is a great target to record. It makes a chk-vireo-chk sound that sounds like no other bird I hear. Its song is conspicuous and easy to pick out from the cacophony of the forest. Captured media Photographs The first time the Vireo decided to make a quick appearance. I was able to snap this quick, but blurry photo of it. This photo attempt was much better with ideal lighting. You can really see the white eyes. Audio recordings ML518169001 - 0:43 The White-eyed Vireo in this clip sounds extremely agitated with its rapid calls that went on and on.
