Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
vireo (plural vireos or vireoes)
- Any of a number of small insectivorous passerine birds, of the genus Vireo, that have grey-green plumage.
- 1998, Sally Roth, Attracting Birds to Your Backyard, page 257:
- The voices of male vireos are a constant in the spring woodland, providing background music to the longer, prettier songs of tanagers and thrushes. Vireos tend to sing in bursts interrupted by short or long pauses.
- 2007, Jonathan Elphick, The Atlas of Bird Migration: Tracing the Great Journeys of the World's Birds, page 72:
- Uniquely American, the vireos are a group of some 46 foliage-gleaning forest birds with uncertain family connections. Vireo species are about equally divided between North and South America, with one, the Black-whiskered Vireo, largely restricted to the West Indies. Several vireos make long migratory journeys; all are nocturnal migrants.
- 2012, Eloise Potter, Birds of the Carolinas, Easyread Large Edition, page 94,
- This[the white-eyed vireo] is our only vireo that has two white wing bars, yellow spectacles, and yellow sides.
- Any bird of the family Vireonidae, which includes vireos, shrike-vireos, greenlets, and peppershrikes.
- 1950, Ernest Sheldon Booth, Birds of the West, page 282:
- Family Vireonidae
Vireos
The vireos are slim grayish green birds that stay high up in the trees most of the time.
Usage notes edit
The alternative plural form vireoes appears to be relatively rare and dated.
