Noun
vireo (plural vireos or vireoes)
- Any of a number of small insectivorous passerine birds, of the genus Vireo, that have grey-green plumage.
- 1998, Sally Roth, Attracting Birds to Your Backyard, page 257,
- The voices of male vireos are a constant in the spring woodland, providing background music to the longer, prettier songs of tanagers and thrushes. Vireos tend to sing in bursts interrupted by short or long pauses.
- 2007, Jonathan Elphick, The Atlas of Bird Migration: Tracing the Great Journeys of the World's Birds, page 72,
- Uniquely American, the vireos are a group of some 46 foliage-gleaning forest birds with uncertain family connections. Vireo species are about equally divided between North and South America, with one, the Black-whiskered Vireo, largely restricted to the West Indies. Several vireos make long migratory journeys; all are nocturnal migrants.
- 2012, Eloise Potter, Birds of the Carolinas, Easyread Large Edition, page 94,
- This[the white-eyed vireo] is our only vireo that has two white wing bars, yellow spectacles, and yellow sides.
- 1998, Sally Roth, Attracting Birds to Your Backyard, page 257,
