The vireo is 11-14 cm (4-6 inches) in length, with a gray head, back, and flanks, and whitish underparts. It has a solid white eye spectacle and white wing bars.

The song, given persistently, consists of short, rough whistled phrases of several notes, spaced about 2 seconds apart. The phrases often alternate ending on a high note and a low note, giving an impression of question and answer.

It prefers open woodlands of the western mountains and foothills. It is usually found in the mid to lower portions of the forest canopy where it slowly and deliberately forages for insects among the foliage. Insects ( Class Insecta) are a major group of Arthropods and the most diverse group of Animals on the Earth with over a million described

Cassin's Vireo builds a cup nest out of bark strips and down in the fork of a twig. It lays 2 to 5 white eggs with some brown spots.

This species was formerly considered to belong to the same species as Plumbeous Vireo and Blue-headed Vireo. The Plumbeous Vireo ( Vireo plumbeus) is a small North American Songbird, ranging from far southeastern Montana and western South Dakota The Blue-headed Vireo, Vireo solitarius, is a small Songbird. At that time, this complex of species was referred to as the "Solitary Vireo".

This vireo is named after ornithologist John Cassin. Ornithology (from Greek ὄρνις ὄρνιθος ornis, ornithos, "bird" and λόγος logos, "knowledge" is the branch of John Cassin ( September 6, 1813 - January 10, 1869) was an American ornithologist.
