Field Notes
Description:
"The Orchard Oriole swaps the typical flame-orange of other orioles for a deep, burnished russet." -All about birds
Habitat:
"Look for Orchard Orioles in open woodlands along river edges, as well as along marsh edges, lakeshores, open shrublands, and farms. In open habitats they nest in scattered trees, including large trees planted for shade. Orchard Orioles winter in thickets, tropical forest edges, plantations, shady pastures, and lightly wooded areas—at a range of elevations up to a mile or more above sea level."
