result if glaucoma is not diag.
nosed early. The cause is in--
creased pressure within the

percent of the blind registered
with The Canadian National Ina
stitute for the Blind lost their
sight through glaucoma.

The male red-eyed vireo sings constantly in the mating seaso

Their food consists of moths, caterpillars, beetles, flies an
bugs as well as wild berrieS and other fruit. As they prepare t
migrate their song diminishes. They are found from Nova Scotia t
British Columbia and up into Northern British Columbia and th
Northwest Territories in Canada.
Many viereos are deliberate in their movements. The Red-ey
slowly raises its crown plumage to express curiosity and concern.
