The blue-headed vireo (Vireo solitarius) is a migrating song bird found in North and Central America. There are currently two recognized subspecies that belong to the blue-headed vireo. It has a range that extends across Canada and the eastern coast of the United-States, Mexico and some of Central America.
Vireo is a genus of small passerine birds restricted to the New World. Vireos typically have dull greenish plumage (hence the name, from Latin virere , "to be green"), but some are brown or gray on the back and some have bright yellow underparts.
They range in size from the Chocó vireo, dwarf vireo and lesser greenlet, all at around 10 cm and 8g, to the peppershrikes and shrike-vireos at up to 17 cm and 40g. [ 3 ] Distribution and habitat

The vireo is 11–14 cm (4–6 inches) long. It has a grayish olive head, back, and flanks, with whitish underparts. One of its distinctive features is the solid white "spectacles" around its eyes, along with white wing bars. These markings set it apart from other similar species like the plumbeous vireo and the blue-headed vireo.
