| angele Elephant Butte, NM Zone 7b May 6, 2008 | Good day! I have 2 shots of Orioles (I think) I have been seeing for a few days now . . Much more green than yellow to my eye. I'm thinking the first is a female Orchard Oriole.

| Resin Northumberland (UK) Zone 9a May 6, 2008 | Tricky! Certainly orioles, but telling which isn't easy from these pics. Could well be Orchard Orioles, but I'd like to see more detail to exclude others, notably Scott's. Resin |
| angele Elephant Butte, NM Zone 7b May 6, 2008 | Thanks Resin! Birds can be so very tricky!! Scott's Orioles do visit my yard daily along with Bullock's. These were almost the color of female Summer Tanagers but the bill was all Oriole! Sibley's says that Hooded Orioles are associated with fan palms and there are 8 of those just a 20 feet from my home - not counting the 6 I planted this weekend in my front yard :-) I have been seeing these olive-green ones for a few days now and hope to get another shot soon. |
