Description
The Yellow-throated Vireo was first described in 1808 by Louis Jean Pierre Vieillot, a French ornithologist.
It requires large blocks of forest to breed successfully. Numbers decrease sharply in forests smaller than 250 acres in the northeastern United States.
Their numbers have decreased in recent years because of the spraying of trees with toxic chemicals.
A group of vireos are collectively known as a "call" of vireos.

This is lovely, Elizabeth. I love this sweet little bird and your beautiful image. Such wonderful earthy colors and the lighting nicely accent the texture of the rock and the bird's feathers. l/f
