Observation details
Scott's Oriole, found near Swoope VA. My good friend, Michael Godfrey asked me to help him document the bird. Michael is a naturalist and developer of the Featherflix video birding guide. He was contacted by a neighbor who showed him a picture of a strange oriole. I joined him on the afternoon of February 17 at the private residence where the bird was found. It came to a suit feeder and fed on the ground. A large oriole with a bright yellow belly, mottled back of grey and charcoal, black on face and neck - extensive forming a bib with a rough border, yellow feathering mixed in on crown of head, long slightly down-curved bill. dark eye, two wing bars.
