Hooded Oriole
Observation details
I viewed this bird from a distance of 10 feet with my binoculars and then camera. The photographs allow for clear identification even though the sun was not at my back. I saw the bright orange/yellow head and neck. The face was black around the eye and down the throat and upper breast. There were two white wing bars on the black wings. The bill was slightly decurved on this medium size oriole. The tail was black. I am familiar with this species having seen them in Texas, Washington, Oregon and Arizona. The similar species I eliminated was Altamira Oriole. This species has a single white wing bar and a yellow insert above that single wing bar.
