Black-capped Vireo Vireo atricapilla male - color banded Gainer Tract, Balcones Canyonlands N.W.R., Williamson Co., Texas 20 April 2007 This bird has an interesting story. When I found and photographed it, I realized it was color banded. I have a close friend on the refuge staff and he told me they had not been doing any Black-capped Vireo banding on the refuge in many years, so they were very interested in this bird. On 24 April 2007, this individual was mist netted by staff of BCNWR. It had originally been banded as a nestling in 2005 at Fort Hood, Texas, so this was a TY (third year) bird. This was an important discovery in the work being done with this species, in that this bird was proven to have been hatched 60 miles north at Fort Hood and was now at BCNWR holding a territory. This was the first time that it was documented that a Black-capped Vireo banded at one location later set up a territory at an entirely different location. I co-authored a paper about this occurrence: Cimprich, David A., Charles W. Sexton, P. Kelly McDowell, Greg Lasley, and William S. Simper. 2009. Long-Distance dispersal records for the Black-capped Vireo. Bull. Texas Ornithological Soc. 42 (1 & 2): 44-47.

This Black-capped Vireo nest belonged to a pair of birds which were being monitored by a research team. The nest was discovered late in the nest cycle and it is not clear if young were fledged or if the nest was predated. It was built about 3 ft up in a Carolina Buckthorn on the rimrock of a steep canyon, adjacent to some shin oak brush.
