Observation details

Looking at the MODO flock in trees across the field through the scope, I came across one bird that didn't look like the rest. The doves eventually flushed, taking the oriole with them. I noticed a second, more pronounced flash of orange as the flock moved, so I think there may have been another oriole... perhaps one that could have been safely identified... Leaving this as a slash because BUOR can't be completely ruled out based on what I was able to see. Would be a tricky call even with a closer look in better lighting.
