Hooded Oriole

Hooded Oriole

Icterus cucullatus 

I spotted this couple two years in a row now, in early summer time. The male is a bright yellow/orange color, while the female is, of course, a paler yellow. They're always around my loquat tree. And this year, I  actually spotted them taking a bath in the birdbath. 


Traits include:

  •  Long tail and body. 
  •  Long bill
  •  Male: Bright yellow/orange body, with black bib, wings and tail.
  •  Female: Pale Yellow, with gray wings.
