General Description: Cassin's Vireos (Vireo cassinii) are small, sexually monomorphic songbirds with a big voice and an eyering with a line over the bridge of the nose that gives the bird the appearance of wearing glasses. They have a gray head, white wingbars, and yellowish on the body. Compare with the all-gray Plumbeous Vireo.

Taxonomy: Passeriformes, Vireonidae.

Favored Habitat: Places with trees.

Where to Find: During migration, Cassin's Vireos can be found everywhere, but when you look for them, they are nowhere to be found; check Corn Creek, the Henderson BVP, urban parks (e.g., Lorenzi and Sunset parks), and higher elevation places with forests like Mt. Charleston.

If you were a tasty bug or a little caterpillar, this might be the last face you ever see!
