EDITORS COMMENTS
Red-eyed Vireo (Vireo olivaceus): A Chromolithograph Portrayal of this Vibrant and Elusive Songbird The Red-eyed Vireo (Vireo olivaceus), a small, vibrant songbird native to North and Central America, is the subject of this stunning chromolithograph. Created by Edwin Sheppard and published in Thomas George Gentry's Nests and Eggs of the Birds of the United States in 1881 by J.A. Wagenseller in Philadelphia, this illustration captures the intricacies of the Red-eyed Vireo's appearance and nesting habits. The Red-eyed Vireo is easily identified by its distinctive red eyes, olive-green back, and white underparts with dark spots. The male and female have similar plumage, but the female has a slightly less vibrant eye color. This chromolithograph provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Red-eyed Vireo's appearance, showcasing its striking features. The Red-eyed Vireo is known for its melodic song and agile movements. It is often found in wooded areas near water, where it builds its nest. The nest, which is not shown in this illustration, is a cup-shaped structure made of grasses, twigs, and other plant materials, usually located in a tree or shrub. The Red-eyed Vireo is a monogamous species, and this chromolithograph depicts a pair of birds nesting together. The female lays 3-6 eggs, which are incubated for about two weeks. Both parents take turns feeding the young, which leave the nest after about three weeks. This chromolithograph is an important historical record of the Red-eyed Vireo and its nesting habits. It provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating bird and showcases the exceptional artistry of Edwin Sheppard and the printing techniques of the time. The intricate details of the illustration and the vibrant colors of the chromolithograph make it a beautiful addition to any collection of ornithological art.
