Killbear Birds

Some other birds found in Killbear Provincial Park in June. Red-eyed Vireos are everywhere. They are probably the most numerous bird in the park along with American Redstarts.

Cedar Waxwings can often be found in pairs in and around the beaver ponds.

Scarlet Tanagers, although not observed as much as these other birds, can also be found near the beaver ponds and heron rookery.

Red-eyed Vireo

A tireless songster, the Red-eyed Vireo is one of the most common summer residents of Eastern forests. These neat, olive-green and white songbirds have a crisp head pattern of gray, black, and white.

Their brief but incessant songs—sometimes more than 20,000 per day by a single male—contribute to the characteristic sound of an Eastern forest in summer.

When fall arrives, they head for the Amazon basin, fueled by a summer of plucking caterpillars from leaves in the treetops. Cornell All About Birds
