Low survival rates likely, little data exists
Since this species uses early successional habitats, for now populations seem stable overall. Adults have been reported killed by collisions with artificial structures like TV towers during migration. However, White-eyed Vireo habitat is not highly valued by humans and it is often cleared, especially in rural areas.
