Scolding Vireo

Nature Journal entry, July 27, 2017...

Photographer: William Wise | iNat Observation: 65491843 - White-eyed Vireo; Walton County, Georgia. July 27, 2017.

Thursday, 8:05 AM – While taking a walk up to the duckweed bog behind my office to check in on a family of Green Herons, I was repeatedly scolded by a scruffed up little yellow bird. Each time a neared a group of small pines, this White Eyed Vireo (Vireo griseus) would alight nearby, flitting around and emit a buzz-like chirping, obviously directed at me. I gather her nest was nearby and she simply didn't approve of my presence!

The White-eyed Vireo is a small and secretive bird of shrubby areas of the eastern and southern United States. It is more noticeable for its explosive song than its looks.
