Black-whiskered Vireo

The Black-whiskered Vireo is a small but stout-bodied songbird with a straight rather thick bill with a sharp hook which you can see clearly in these images. It is by far the most common Vireo we observed in Cuba. This image clearly shows the black whisker mark at the throat.

It is olive above and pale with olive-yellow sides below. The head features a gray crown with a black lower border, white stripe over the eye, black line through the eye, and distinctive thin black “whisker” mark bordering the throat.
