January 31, 2024 - Orange-crowned Oriole (Icterus auricapillus) These orioles are found in and around humid forests and in cultivated areas with trees in parts of northern South America. Foraging in pairs, small family groups, and mixed-species flocks with other orioles, they feed on arthropods, fruits, and nectar. Their hanging nests are woven mainly from palm fibers, usually under palm fronds. Females lay clutches of two eggs.

And since it is nesting time, here’s a male Baltimore oriole gathering nesting material and putting it in his hanging nest which is in a small tree by the lake. I’ve always read about orioles’ cool hanging nests but never got to watch one being built. This was a treat.

BOTD: Spot-breasted Oriole

Photo: Ryan Mandelbaum

"Native to southwestern Mexico and Central America and sometimes kept as a cagebird, this large oriole apparently escaped from captivity in the Miami area in the late 1940s. The suburbs of southern Florida, with their gardens of exotic plants, provided a suitable habitat for some tropical birds, so the Spot-breasted Oriole thrived there. Its numbers have been hurt occasionally by exceptionally cold winters, but it is currently doing well in some areas between Miami and West Palm Beach."

- Audubon Field Guide

Recent birds: Yucca oriole / calandria tunera (Icterus parisorum) on an agave mast at Ash Canyon.

The American Ornithological Society persists in calling this Scott's oriole. It is a glorious bird, with an official common name honoring a truly unworthy man, Winfield Scott, whose atrocities include the forced removal and genocide of Seminole, Muscogee, and Cherokee peoples under the direction of a variety of early U.S. presidents. Such honorifics are almost always problematic. What did Scott care about birds? What did he care about people?

Issues of Scott's conduct aside, don't birds deserve bird names, something descriptive of their appearance or habits or place? Yucca oriole is an eminently sensible name for a bird that constructs a woven nest of yucca fibers. It's hard to relearn after years of habit, but it's the only name I'll use from now on.
