Vireo Showdown; Bracket 4, Poll 4

Fun Fact!

Philadelphia: told from the very similar Warbling Vireo by how much cuter it is- having bigger eyes on a small head and round body do contribute to this bird's (scientifically proven) cute appearance

Tepui: with only 270 sightings on eBird and 10 photos, this is our least "reported" vireo in the tourney

Warbling: their song has been described as "a happy drunk making a conversational point at a party"

The oldest place on planet earth is in Venezuela. It's called Mount Roraima.

—

Mount Roraima is located in the northern part of South America and on the triple border between Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana.

Located in the Canaima National Park, it is the highest of the tepuis — a type of table-shaped mountain very characteristic of the Guiana Plateau — standing almost 3,000 metres above sea level.

Mount Roraima is composed of sandstone of the Proterozoic Eon formed about 1.7 to 2 billion years ago, therefore among the oldest rocks on Earth.

It contains a large amount of quartz deposits, 98% are silica particles, forming white or pinkish crystals several centimetres long.
