[vpci] Re: bird identification

We are at the very southwest edge of the Baltimore Oriole nesting range so
few if any nest here.  We see them mostly during fall migration in our yard
and this year was a bumper crop.  We had small flocks of them hanging
around.  During the campout I saw them drinking out of the hummingbird
feeders up by the park headquarters.

Thanks everyone for the help identifying him. Are they commonly seen around
here?

I think it is a Baltimore Oriole.  They have been pretty thick during
migration at our house.

It looks like it could be a black headed grosbeak.  Here's a link for the
details.

I was riding around out back a couple of days ago and spotted a bird that I
have never seen around here before. He sat still just long enough for me to
get 2 terrible shots of him.

I looked in my books but I couldn't identify him. Does anyone have any
ideas?

 

Thanks,

Pam
