Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius) (2)
- Reported Sep 26, 2024 11:47 by Alex Castelein

- Comments: "Nice! First had glancing views of the weird molty male and had a few species go through my head before getting good looks and confirming Orchard. While getting more looks and photos at the male, I saw what looked like a female Orchard pop out briefly. I got better looks and photos and confirmed it was Orchard as well. These were tiny, warbler sized orioles with small triangular bills with only a little curve, and short tails. Except for black wings with two white wing bars, the female was all yellow while the male had a black face and throat and rich chestnut mottling, especially on the breast. Photos of both"
