The Mangrove Vireo is a small Neotropical songbird with generally plain olive-grey plumage, specifically adapted to life in coastal mangrove forests. It forages for insects among the unique vegetation.
Where to spot
Found along the Pacific and Caribbean coasts of Central America, from Mexico to Panama. It exclusively inhabits mangrove forests and adjacent coastal scrub.
How to spot
Look specifically in mangrove habitats. Listen for its distinctive, often repetitive, slow vireo song. Scan the foliage of mangrove trees, as it can be inconspicuous.
When to spot
Active year-round in its resident tropical coastal habitat. Most vocal during the breeding season. Best observed in the early morning at high tide when birds might move to higher ground.
