Observation details
Originally, this oriole seemed to be an Orchard Oriole due to its bright red breast feathersand slightly different wing bars/patches. Baltimore Orioles were seen and heard. However, after looking at photos, the underside of the tail was orange which is characteristic of the Baltimore Oriole. Bryan Pfeiffer sent me links to articles about Baltimore Orioles eating non native Asian bush honeysuckles that caused a plumage color change to bright red - erythrism.
