Bullock's Oriole
Icterus bullockii
38.8055, -123.017
Field Notes
Description:
The Bullock's orioles come here to the property where I live every year to nest and raise their young. This is a young male from last year's "crop" but it is a far superior photo to the ones I took this year.
Habitat:
Oak woodlands, dry hillsides, chaparral.
Notes:
The family of which the male pictured here is associated was a particularly visible during the time they were here... I have another photo of the same bird as a juvenile with mostly white plummage and photos of him and the other nestlings in his brood as very young chicks and even a photo of their mother watching them from another tree -- actually she was watching ME taking photos of them seemingly to determine whether I might be a threat!
