Today's Bird study was on vireo's. Here are the three kinds of vireo's we learned about:
Red eyed vireo:
These birds are characterized by red eyes, an olive coat, white breast, grey cap, and a black strip across it's eye, and a white strip above it. These song birds will sing all day rarely without a break, they are private birds making their nest among the tree tops. They can be found here in Texas during the summer- so we'll be on the lookout!

This bird is a bit plainer than the red-eyed, but the coat is a lighter olive and it's breast is more cream colored with the exception of the slight color and the red eyes ~ other than that, they are very similar:

Lastly among the cousins, is the yellow throated vireo (also very similar with exception of color):
