Bell's Vireo is a small, plain New World songbird, typically olive-grey with faint wing bars and a subtle eye-ring. It is known for its often rambling and variable song.
Where to spot
Breeds in western and central North America. Winters in Mexico and Central America. It prefers dense, shrubby riparian areas, willow thickets, and arid scrub.
How to spot
Listen for its distinctive and highly variable song, often described as a 'series of whispered phrases.' Scan dense, low vegetation, as it tends to stay hidden.
When to spot
Breeding season: spring and summer (April-July). Migration: spring (March-April) and fall (August-October). Winter: November-February. Most vocal during breeding season.
