Lang Elliott | Red-eyed Vireo Portrait @LangElliott | Uploaded May 2010 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
This video portrait of a Red-eyed Vireo features my best footage from several sessions on May 16 & 17, 2010, at Land Between the Lakes Kentucky.
This species is sometimes called "The Preacherbird" because the male repeats his sermon (song) over and over from daybreak until dusk. One researcher actually followed a male for a whole day and counted a whopping 22,197 songs—geeze, you'd think he'd get a sore throat!
