Observation details
First observed flying between Yuma Territorial Prison State Park and East Wetland Park moving east towards Riverside Park. The bird would fly 30-60 yards at a time, and land in the upper part of a tree-shrub. The bird was last seen in mulberry trees in Riverside Park. In the attached photos, notice the brighter orange around cheeks-throat that contrast with the rest of the body, bill with thicker base that tapers towards the tip, the greater amount of white in the wings, the restricted amount of black at the throat, and the lighter olive back with a hint of black streaking. The back doesn't show the streaking clearly, but the lighter olive color of the back strongly suggests a Streak-backed Oriole rather than a winter Hooded Oriole
