We can ID this Oriole as a 1st year male Bullock's Oriole as follows:
- Yellowish head,neck and breasts with black throat
- More whitish belly
- Black eyeline
- Orangish auriculars
- The adult Bullock's Oriole has more orange underparts and face and has a black crown, in addition to the black throat.
Bullock's Orioles are native to western North America, so this bird is a vagrant to this area. The Bullock's Oriole is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 1,003.
