Golden Vireo

Vireolanius eximius

The Golden Vireo (Vireolanius eximius) is a striking bird found in the pine-oak forests of Mexico and Central America. It is known for its vibrant yellow plumage, with a black mask and wings, and a white belly. This medium-sized vireo is often observed foraging for insects and small fruits in the upper canopy of the forest. Its melodious song can be heard echoing through the forest, especially during the breeding season. The Golden Vireo is a species of least concern according to the IUCN, but it faces threats from habitat loss and fragmentation.
