Orchard Oriole
This species winters from central Mexico to northern South America. Males and females share the brooding of the eggs—and parents often divide fledglings and care for them separately! Family units stay together until migrating in the fall, and Orchard Orioles are not considered to be adults until after their second year. Juveniles, and also adult females (shown here), have olive-green on the upper parts and yellowish on the breast and belly. The male Orchard Oriole swaps the typical flame-orange of other orioles for a deep, burnished russet.
