Remsen, J.V. 1977 White-eyed Vireo Vireo griseus Point Reyes [cont] June 7 [cont] there was a narrow, pale eyering which touched the yellow- green forehead - I wouldn't have called it spectacles - it was just that the yellow-green forehead was so extensive that it reached the lores; the chin was grayish-white [underparts]: the throat was grayish-white, contrasting sharply with the very yellow sides of the breast; this yellow extended along the sides to the flanks and nearly met in the breast and belly but it looked like there was white extending all the way down the center of the breast and belly to the undertail coverts. But the yellow may have actually gone all the way across the upper- contrast so sharply den. breast because the throat seemed to be so sharply demc. with the breast. The undertail coverts looked white at our last observation but at one earlier glimpse I thought they were yellow. [upperparts]: I never clearly saw the back in good light - to the it looked olive-brown but everyone else said it was green. [Wings]: brown with 2 conspicuous white wingbars. [Tail]: dull without any notable markings; short.
