About this episode
This episode focuses on the Eastern Warbling-Vireo, its song, and a previously unreleased hike from the Bruce County Rail Trail.
The Eastern Warbling-Vireo is greyish olive bird that can be found in deciduous trees in open areas in the central and northeastern United States, and in the prairies and southern parts of Ontario and Québec in Canada. 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 see it. In 2025 this species was split from the Western Warbling-Vireo, which has a much more disjoined sounding song. I’ll be sharing its songs and sounds in future episodes. For this species in focus episode I’ll be sharing a previously unreleased hike from the Bruce County Rail Trail in 2021. Credits Songbirding: Species in Focus is a Songbirding Studios production.
