Excerpts Adapted from the Birds of Saskatchewan:
Red-eyed Vireos are the most tireless of songbirds. Males sing their repetitive phrases throughout the day from late May until early August. Red-eyed Vireos breed across central Canada from northeastern British Columbia east to Newfoundland, south through the northwestern and eastern US. They winter in northern South America, as far south as Peru and western Brazil (AOU 1998).
Red-eyed Vireos inhabit riparian woodlands, aspen groves, and the edges of deciduous and mixedwood forests. Like Warbling Vireos, Red-eyed Vireos also nest in artificial habitats such as farm shelterbelts and urban residential areas. Densities on breeding bird census plots varied from 2 territories/100 ha to an incredible 126 in a mature hardwood-dominated forest at Doré Lake in 1973 (Smith 2008b).
The Red-eyed Vireo is a common and widespread summer resident across Saskatchewan from the northern limit of the northern boreal region (Uranium City, Stony Rapids, and Rabbit Lake), south through the parklands; uncommon and local in the grasslands (Smith 1996).
