Title: Bird Id needed
Post by: Canoncan on May 18, 2006, 02:05:42 PM

This bird was taken at Tilden Woods yesterday at Pelee. It is Robin sized as the tail is sticking out below the leaf. It is quite yellow, I was thinking Immature or female Baltimore Oriole, yet I have never seen one so yellow.

Just really became famiiliarized with this one myself last week at Pelee. Are you sure this was taken at Pelee it's much too sunny! Unless I'm mistaken it is an immature Orchard Oriole, the B.Oriole imm.male lacks the black bib.

I was also at Pelee this past weekend. We saw the same bird and the guide (National Geographic) showed it to be a first-Spring male Orchard Oriole.

In Sibley Field Guide to Birds, Eastern North America, it is shown as a First Summer Male (Feb-Aug) Orchard Oriole. 8)
