[birds singing] The eastern warbling vireo is a grayish olive bird that can be found in deciduous trees and open areas in the central and northeastern United States and in the Canadian prairies and southern parts of Ontario and Quebec. Its name is quite descriptive of its song, a rapid and almost frantic warbling song that is loud enough that you are more likely to hear this bird than you are to see it.

For this Species In Focus episode, I'll be sharing a previously unreleased hike from the Bruce County Rail Trail in twenty twenty-one.
