Vireo leucophrys
(Brown-capped Vireo / Verderón montañero)
The brown-capped vireo breeds in highlands from southern Mexico south to northwestern Bolivia.
The adult brown-capped vireo is 12–12.7 cm in length.
This vireo occurs in the canopy and middle levels of light woodland, the edges of forest, and other semi-open habitats at altitudes from 500 to 2500 m.
Brown-capped vireos feed on caterpillars and other insects gleaned from tree foliage. They also eat small fruits.
It is hard to see clearly in this picture but the throat and middle of the breast of this bird are white and the sides of the breast are yellow,
Photographed along the Tieton River at Wild Rose Day Use Area, Yakima County, Washington. I was fortunate to find a family of 5 or 6 Warbling Vireo.
Thank you for viewing, commenting on and faving my photo!

I was at the Botanic Garden with my wife, who was doing an extended bird survey of the Garden with three of her fellow docents. We saw a total of six Hutton's Vireos during the survey, inclduing a pair constructing a nest on an oak tree in the Channel Island section, using lichen plucked from the same tree.
