Yellow-throated Vireo
Adult--Upper parts yellowish olive; rump gray; ring around the eye yellow; breast light lemon yellow; belly grayish white; distinct white bars on wings. Length--5.95.
Breeding Range--Throughout the Eastern States.
The nest resembles a good example of the red-eyed vireo's, from five to forty feet from the ground.
Eggs white with a tinge of pink; rather more thickly spotted than those of the red-eyed vireo. Size--.83 x .61.
The bright yellow breast serves to distinguish this bird from other members of the vireo family; the breeding habits are not very different from those of the red-eyed vireo, except that nesting begins rather later.
