Yucatan Vireo (Vireo magister)
About the Yucatan Vireo
The Yucatan vireo (Vireo magister) is a species of bird in the family Vireonidae, the vireos, greenlets, and shrike-babblers. It is found on Grand Cayman and in Belize, Honduras, and Mexico. It has once been documented as a vagrant in Texas. The Yucatan vireo was originally described in 1871 as Vireosylvia magister. The Yucatan vireo's further taxonomy is unsettled. The IOC, AviList, and BirdLife International's Handbook of the Birds of the World assign it these four subspecies: V. m. magister (Baird, SF, 1871) V. m. decoloratus (Phillips, AR, 1991) V. m. stilesi (Phillips, AR, 1991) V. m. caymanensis Cory, 1887 However, the Clements taxonomy does not recognize V. m. decoloratus and V. m. stilesi but includes them within the nominate V. m. magister.

We only publish recordings we may use commercially, because this site is supported by ads. xeno-canto lists 17 recordings for this species: 9 CC BY-NC-SA. None of them permits commercial use, so there is no player here — the page is kept as a profile so the bird is not missing from the guide.
As soon as someone uploads a freely licensed recording, we mirror it and the player appears here.
