Bama 4 Posted January 18 Trying to help a friend identify he yellow and black bird. She says it eats oranges and grape jelly, if that helps. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aveschapines 146 Posted January 19 I was sure it was going to be a Common Yellowthroat until I saw you said it eats oranges and jelly; that's classic oriole! Note that Orchard Orioles are smaller than many other orioles, so that can help wiht ID for females or immatures (males are pretty distinctive). I kept looking for black and rust-colored warblers the first several times I saw wintering Orchards here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
