Yellow-green Vireo

Vireo flavoviridis

The Yellow-green Vireo (Vireo flavoviridis) is a small songbird found in tropical and subtropical woodlands throughout Central and South America. This species feeds primarily on insects and other invertebrates, which it captures while foraging in the canopy. Its behavior is typical of vireos, meaning it is a solitary bird, often moving through the trees in search of food. The Yellow-green Vireo is a medium-sized songbird with a bright yellow-green body, white belly, and white eyebrows.
