Birds are cool Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Yes, Orchard Oriole. The east coast states only have two common Orioles, Baltimore and Orchard. Baltimore Orioles are lighter than Orchard Orioles. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also got the darker patchy head. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about the same color as a normal OROR IMO. .I think the darker head is shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfowler Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 I thought it was a female orchard oriole because I saw lit with male bird. In-person the head had an orangish red color. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
