The Yucatan Vireo is a subtly colored songbird endemic to the Yucatan Peninsula and surrounding regions. It is a resident species, preferring various wooded and scrubby habitats.
Where to spot
Exclusively found in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, Belize, and northern Guatemala. Inhabits dry scrub, secondary growth, and woodland edges, often near the coast.
How to spot
Identify this vireo by its plain, olive-grey plumage, slightly paler underparts, and a faint pale supercilium. Its song is a key identifier, a strong, deliberate, and often repeated series of phrases, typical of many vireos.
When to spot
Can be observed year-round within its range. It is most vocal during the breeding season, typically from late spring into summer.
