Bama Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Trying to help a friend identify he yellow and black bird. She says it eats oranges and grape jelly, if that helps. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IvoryBillHope Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 When and where was this taken? I think Orchard Oriole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 If your friend asks, the other one at the suet is a Gray Catbird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aveschapinas Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
