Vireos forage in trees and thickets for insects and berries. They don't visit feeders or use nest boxes.
Black-whiskered Vireos inhabit coastal mangrove and hardwood habitats. They are more common in southern areas.
Vireos are sluggish, slow-moving birds, often seen hanging upside-down in midair, clinging to a leaf, apparently finding such incongruous positions the most appropriate for consuming the caterpillars and aphids that rank high on their daily menu.
This vireo is a neotropical migrant that winters in Central and South America. It is often found at woodland edges where deciduous trees predominate.
Most vireo territories contain both dense vegetative cover within 1-2 meters of the ground, the preferred habitat for nesting, and a dense, stratified overstory canopy, the preferred habitat for foraging (Goldwasser 1981, USFWS 1998, ...

Resistant Hosts: Vireos (Vireo spp.) and some warblers (i.e., yellow warbler [Dendroica petechia]) cover brown-headed cowbird eggs with a new floor and lay their own eggs on top of it.
The absence of a supra-orbital ring or distinctive eye ring are against a vireo, as is the fairly long fine bill. I'm learning that bill size and shape can be real important in placing the bird in the right family.
