The species was named by Audubon for John G. Bell (1812-1899), a New York taxidermist who accompanied him on his trip up the Missouri River in the 1840s. Incubating Bell's Vireos, like other vireos, are so fearless around their well-camouflaged nests that an observer may photograph them from a few feet away. The strong, somewhat curved beak, with a slight hook at the end, like a miniature of a shrike's beak, reminds us that these birds, however gentle they seem, are determined predators. They feed on caterpillars, aphids, various larvae, and spiders. Although often victimized by cowbirds, this bird raises relatively few of the brood parasites, simply abandoning a nest when a cowbird's egg is laid in it.
