Orioles - Bird Watching Academy

Hooded Oriole

The Hooded Oriole is a sly bird that can confuse new bird watchers due to its interesting calls. Armed with the ability to imitate other bird species, they lurk around palm trees, gardens, forests, and any such areas where they can forage for berries, fruits, and insects. They rarely perch on the ground, if they do they hop along the floor and they won’t stay for long. However, they flap their wings in a powerful yet graceful movement, flying to the nearest tree to forage for more food.

Bullock’s Oriole

They often hang upside down from branches as they forage. The Bullock’s Oriole is a dazzling flash of orange that stands out in their wooded habitats. Named after the English naturalist William Bullock, these birds were confused with the closely related Baltimore Orioles for several years until the species received its own independent status in 1827. Although interbreeding with Baltimore Orioles is a common occurrence, hybridization has not diluted the unique traits of these birds. Attentive observers would be able to tell the difference between the two if they pay close attention to the details.
