This morning at Carpenter Nature Center (Washington Co) we banded a Baltimore oriole that was very yellow. The only hint of orange was the orangy-yellow upper chest - otherwise nor orange at all. I've never seen such a yellowish Baltimore oriole. How about others out there?
I put a photo on the MOU website - showcase at http://www.moumn.org/cgi-bin/recent.pl?op=showcase Also, I read about someone seeing or banding an orchard oriole this year that had a black head - ie it was a first year male that was molting into adult plumage and got a black head before the reddish body. Anyone know who mentioned this bird? Thanks Larry S ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
