White-eyed vireo

The white-eyed vireo is a year-round resident of Marion County, but they’re more commonly heard than seen. Listen for a song that sounds something like the C3PO robot from Star Wars. Then look hard, because they favor thick wooded areas and blend in very well. They’re easy to identify by their white eyes and yellow ‘spectacles.’
