The Red-eyed Vireo arrives regularly during the last four days
of April and leaves during the last week of September. It
is our commonest vireo and comes freely into the wooded sections
of the city to breed. One pair even yet comes to nest in a
thicket on the ledge in Penn Valley Park, a few blocks from the
Union Station. Red-eyed Vireos are numerous in and about
Swope Park, in some of the cemeteries, in the wooded sections
bordering the Country Club and other districts within the city
and along the bluffs. The nesting season begins about the
second week in May.
