	Backyard Birder: June orioles
		There are several studies of orioles going on to assess changes in their range and habits and to assess the health of their population.
		Baltimore Orioles are one of our most variable species in color, ranging from bright orange on much of their bodies in some individuals to those that have only small patches of orange.
		In fact, their biographies of the birds show them to be rather short-term visitors with us, arriving in late March or April and leaving as early as July, so it would seem unlikely that they would have time to raise and fledge another family in that period of time.

	Journey North Oriole
		Rising's fascinating oriole research centered on the "zone of hybridization," and his work there formed much of the basis for the American Ornithologists' Union's new changes.
		The Baltimore Oriole shows more genetic similarities to the Altamira Oriole (which lives in Mexico, northern Central America, and a tiny part of Texas) and especially to the Black-backed Oriole (from Mexico).
		Bullock's Oriole is more closely related to the Steak-backed Oriole (from Central America, Mexico, and rarely southern Arizona and California).

	ASPECTS OF THE BREEDING BIOLOGY OF AUDUBON'S ORIOLE (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since Audubon's Oriole is resident on its breeding grounds, whereas the Northern Oriole is migratory, the difference in song com- plexity between the two species is at least partially consistent with Catch- pole's (1980) hypothesis.
		The Altamira Oriole and its nestß Condor 45:125-132.
		Audubon's Oriole (Icterus graduacauda) is perhaps the least familiar of the six oriole species that breed north of Mexico and is among the least-known of the approximately 25 species of New World orioles (Icterus spp.).

	1998 Altamira Oriole Project ~ Conservation Projects ~ Conventions ~ American Birding Association
		The Altamira Oriole (Icterus gularis) is one of several tropical birds whose U.S. range is limited to southern Texas, and which has declined in recent years in former strongholds.
		The Altamira's Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge population has declined from 15-20 nesting pairs in the 1970s to 4-5 pairs during the 1990s.
		Although Altamira Orioles forage in thorn-scrub, they require relatively tall trees emerging from the forest canopy, or at the forest edge, as nest sites.

	Scott’s Oriole
		Specialties of the region, Scott’s Orioles are as stunning visually as they are aurally—especially adult males, with their lemon-yellow underparts and white wingbars standing out in sharp contrast against jet fl heads, chests, and backs.
		Scott’s Orioles nest in many species of trees — yucca, palms, piñon pines, junipers, and oaks, among others, depending on what is present in a given habitat.
		For their nests, Scott’s Orioles choose locations that are well concealed and shaded, usually 6-10 feet from the ground.

	New World oriole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The genus Icterus, New World orioles, is a group of birds in the Icteridae family.
		The males are typically fl and yellow or orange, with white markings; the plumage of females and immature birds is duller.
		Several species are easy to attract to birdtables by the provision of cut oranges and grape jelly, both are favored by orioles.

	Orioles
		This project will use orioles as a model group to test the utility of combining data from multiple nuclear introns to construct whole genome trees for all closely related animal species.
		It is likely that northern species such as the Baltimore Oriole have independently LOST elaborate female coloration resulting in the repeated GAIN of sexual dichromatism.
		A primary goal of our oriole research is to reconstruct the phylogenetic tree of orioles in order to understand the evolution of plumage characteristics.

	Orioles
		The genus Icterus, New World orioles, is a group of birds in the Icteridae family.
		They are not related to the Old World orioles which are in the family Oriolidae, but are superficially strikingly similar in size, diet, behaviour and their yellow-and-fl plumage, a good example of convergent evolution, and almost inevitably took the same vernacular name.
		The name "oriole" was first recorded (in the Latin form oriolus) by Albertus Magnus in about 1250, and was stated by him to be onomatopoeic, from the song of the European Golden Oriole.

		Oriole is a habitat generalist, occurring in dense mesquite forest, other thorn-forest and thorn-scrub, riparian forest, and oak forest.
		The ability of Audubon's Orioles to persist in less disturbed ranchlands should be studied further, since both species of cowbirds are also present in those areas.

		This adult Altamira Oriole, was one of four species of orioles visiting the DeWind's feeders.
		This species reaches the northern limit of its range in southern Texas, but unlike the previous Audubon's Oriole, it appears to be increasing.
		I am fascinated by the fact that migratory orioles show a strong sexual dimorphism while tropical non-migratory species are monomorphic, with both sexes resembling the male.

		Best Spots: Probably the easiest way to see Altamira Orioles is to visit the feeding stations of the inner loop at Bentsen SP.
		Similar Species: Altamira Oriole is the largest of our North American Orioles.
		Its orange and fl plumage is similar to that of Hooded Oriole (summer resident), but there are notable differences: Unlike Hooded Oriole, Altamira Oriole is much larger, has much less fl color around the eye and throat, and different wing markings (including orange epaulet).

	Introduction — Altamira Oriole — Birds of North America Online
		The Altamira Oriole, formerly known as Lichtenstein’s Oriole and as the Black-throated Oriole, is a large, brightly colored songbird resident from the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas to Nicaragua.
		As in many other tropical orioles, but unlike temperate species, the sexes are similar in plumage.
		A habitat generalist, the Altamira Oriole inhabits dry woodlands, scattered groves of trees in open areas, openings within forests, arid scrub, and trees bordering bodies of water.
