Orchard Oriole
Icterus spurius
Orchard Orioles winter from southern Mexico, south to Columbia in South America, but breed from central Mexico north through eastern USA from North Dakota east to New England. Most orioles feature yellow and black in their plumage, but the males of this species have cinnamon coloration instead of the yellow of their cousins.
Where the habitat is rich in food supplies, these birds may nest with several pairs in the same tree.

Description: I found some nice birds, including three oriole species at a roadside rest area about one hour east of Fort Stockton Texas to break the monotony of the I-10 freeway. I was surprised how many birds I found. There were 3 oriole species, 3 flycatcher species, and cactus wrens. |

Description: With their burnt orange plumage, the male Orchard Oriole is hard to mistake for its other oriole cousins. My second full day on South Padre Island, Texas was less birdy than my first day, but still I met some great birds. |
