Wikipedia Abstract

The white-eyed vireo (Vireo griseus) is a small songbird. It breeds in the southeastern United States from New Jersey west to northern Missouri and south to Texas and Florida, and also in eastern Mexico, northern Central America, Cuba and the Bahamas. Populations on the US Gulf coast and further south are resident, but most North American birds migrate south in winter. The white-eyed vireo's song is a variable and rapid six to seven note phrase, starting and ending with a sharp chick.
