  Black-hooded Oriole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Black-hooded Oriole, Oriolus xanthornus, is a member of the oriole family of passerine birds and is a resident breeder in tropical southern Asia from India and Sri Lanka east to Indonesia.
The food is insects and fruit, especially figs, found in the tree canopies where the orioles spend much of their time.
Orioles can be shy, and even the male may be difficult to see in the dappled yellow and green leaves of the canopy.

 SDNHM Focus on Scott's, Bullock's, and Hooded Orioles
The diversity of places where the Scott's Orioles have been found wintering, especially this past winter, has led me to a hypothesis: Scott's Oriole is not a migrant governed by the calendar in the same way as the Bullock's and Hooded Orioles, which arrive and depart almost like clockwork each year.
As in the corresponding plumages of the Hooded, the belly and undertail coverts are yellow, albeit a darker muted yellow.
While Scott's Oriole is now revealed as a regular winter visitor in the inland regions of San Diego County, it seems to avoid the coast—though this may be an artifact of the elimination of cactus thickets with urbanization.

 HoodedOriolep
This is probably a Hooded Oriole rather than a Bullock's, because the underparts are a uniform yellow, instead of yellow and white.
Orioles are of course thoroughly realistic in struggling to survive and propagate, as shown by their marvelous nests, woven from strands of palm frond fiber.
However we saw a juvenile Hooded Oriole in our nearby back yard a couple of months later, so this pair may have nested successfully in another palm tree in the neighborhood.

The hooded oriole is probably the prettiest bird I have ever seen, and it may be the smartest.
The hooded oriole drinks a lot of sugar water (you can use one part sugar to four parts water), and because he usually has to share the feeder with any number of hummingbirds (which are perfectly capable of feeding from an oriole feeder), you will run out of sugar water faster than you think.

This adult male Hooded Oriole in winter plumage was one of four species of orioles visiting the DeWind's feeders.

This species resembles the Altamira Oriole, but is much smaller and has a more slender, curved bill presumably adapted for feeding on nectar.
