The Least Bell's Vireo

The Least Bell's Vireo is a songbird that is native to the San Diego area. This bird's scientific name is the Vireo bellii. This bird is about four to five inches long, and is a mostly grayish bird. This bird has a white patch on its under body, and it makes it stand out. This bird might be native to the San Diego area, but it has not been treated like a very good one. In most cases, this bird's population has been largely effected. It has been effected mostly because of the different industrial buildings that have been built in its native areas. There have been various land development projects that have truly been what has been causing this animal to become endangered. There has been a increase in grasslands. What a grassland is, is basically a land where it is all taken over by various grasses. If there are many trees, they would be cut down, and that is mostly what is causing this poor songbird to become endangered.
This songbird is really a delight to have in the San Diego area. Walking around, and hearing a songbird singing is truly an amazing thing. Many times, I have been walking around and I have heard construction, or honking drivers, but when I truly sit back, and listen, and I hear a songbird, it makes life better. The extinction of this specific songbird would really be such an unfortunate thing. If more people were educated about this bird, and knew what it looked like, there could be more enjoyment of this bird. The Least Bell's Vireo is a unique songbird that really does not deserve to become extinct. If we do not make a change, this songbird will become extinct. Doing something simple, like having a bird feeder in your front yard, is something that not only will help out this singing friend, but will also add to your love of the different animals around you. This bird really is an important part of our lives, because like I said before, when you step back and truly listen to nature and what is has to say, or in this case sing, it is truly a life changing experience.
