San Andres vireo
The San Andres vireo or St. Andrew vireo (''Vireo caribaeus'') is a threatened species of vireo endemic to the Colombian island of St. Andrew and Providencia Island in the Caribbean Sea, located off the east coast of Nicaragua. Due to habitat loss from the ever expanding population on these small islands, the species has now become limited to a few localities on the southern half of the island, but it is still common in some of these areas. It is found in most habitat types on the island.
==Description==
It is a small bird, 12.5 cm in length. It is olive-green above and whitish or pale yellow below. It has two white bars on the wing, pale edges to the flight-feathers and a pale yellow stripe between the bill and eye. The eye is grey-brown.〔BirdLife International (2009) (Species factsheet: ''Vireo caribaeus'' ). Downloaded from http://www.birdlife.org on 5 January 2010.〕〔Raffaele, Herbert; James Wiley, Orlando Garrido, Allan Keith & Janis Raffaele (2003) ''Birds of the West Indies'', Christopher Helm, London.〕 It has several songs and calls, producing a one-syllable chattering, a repeated two-syllable song and a three-syllable song.〔
It is very similar to the mangrove vireo (''V. pallens'') and Jamaican vireo (''V. modestus''). It has a slightly thinner and darker bill than the mangrove vireo. Its bill is slightly longer and darker than that of the Jamaican vireo which also differs in having a whitish eye and fainter stripe between the bill and eye.〔Bond, James (1950) Birds of Cayo Largo (Cuba), San Andrés and Providencia, ''Proceedings of the Natural Academy of Sciences'', 102: 43-68.〕
