Spotted
The Philadelphia Vireo is a small, migratory songbird, characterized by its yellowish underparts, olive-green back, and a distinct dark line through its eye. It is an active insectivore of open woodlands.
Where to spot
Breeds in boreal forests of Canada and the northern USA. Winters in Central America and northern South America. It prefers deciduous and mixed woodlands, often near water.
How to spot
Look for its yellowish wash on the underparts and the dusky eye-line. Listen for its rapid, somewhat monotonous, scratchy song, which is often faster and less varied than other vireo songs.
When to spot
Breeding season: spring and summer (May-July). Migration: spring (May) and fall (August-September). Winter: October-April. Most vocal during breeding season.

Despite its name, the Philadelphia Vireo is not particularly associated with Philadelphia; it was named there based on the location where the first specimen was collected during its migration.
