I suggest that Scott's Oriole is the most likely candidate if the description
is accurate. They can often be attracted to grape jelly in a bowl. Also check
any blooming red hot pokers in the area. There are two Oregon records of the
species. I am not saying that an Audubon's Oriole is impossible, just that
Scott's is similar, and more likely, though either is a great rarity in Oregon
