Where does blue-headed Vireo usually live?
When blue-headed vireos arrive on their breeding grounds, typically in mid-April, many deciduous trees have yet to leaf out, leading them to nest in evergreen trees including hemlocks (Tsuga). Recently, however, many hemlocks in eastern USA have been killed by an invasive Asian insect, the Hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae), leaving the vireos with fewer nesting options until spring leaf opening begins for deciduous trees.
