  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.
A predilection for prickly pears explains the late Eleanor Beemer's repeated observations of Scott's Oriole in Pauma Valley (E12), among the few pre-1980 winter reports from the coastal slope—thickets of prickly pear are prominent on the steep south-facing slopes at the base of Palomar Mountain.
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.

 Sacramento Area Bird Records Committee
Winter records of this species have long been a point of contention locally (although this record is on the borderline of when the first spring migrants are noted in California).
Record 23-91 is slightly south of the area defined by the Checklist; this species may be rare but regular in that part of Sacramento County.
Record 8-89 is the first record for Sacramento County, record 9-91 the second (and a bit outside the Checklist area).

 Golden Oriole, Oriolus oriolus
Despite brilliant colouring, orioles are often difficult to see slipping through the foliage where sun, shade and trembling leaves create a broken pattern of fl and yellow - perfect for hiding from prying eyes.
Each pair of orioles needs between 400 and 1000 poplars at least seven years' old within a sq km with the woodland edges as long as possible.
The oriole families then commence the perilous journey to tropical Africa running the gauntlet of the trappers en route.

 Texas Bird Records Committee Report for 1996
The committee reached a final decision on 241 records during 1996: 189 records of 58 species were accepted and 52 records of 40 species were not accepted, an acceptance rate of 78% for this report.
This number consists of the year the record was originally submitted to the committee followed by a hyphen and a number.
The non-acceptance of any record simply reflects the opinion of the TBRC that the documentation, as submitted, did not meet the rigorous standards appropriate for adding data to the formal historical record.

 Embassy records: covering the market, marketing the cover Popular Music and Society - Find Articles
To relate the history of the Woolworths-owned Embassy records label is to simultaneously chart the history of the emergence and development of an authentic popular music in Britain.
The years in which this change took place coincided exactly with the lifespan of Embassy records; ironically, the demise of one was caused by the ascendancy of the other.
The first Embassy records were released in November 1954, on the ten-inch 78 rpm format and the initial batch of six singles demonstrated emphatically the intention of the new label to provide duplicates of contemporary hit songs and traditional favourites on both sides of a double A-sided disc.

 A RESUME OF ANTING, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO A CAPTIVE ORCHARD ORIOLE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
My oriole commonly anted for 25 minutes; that is, from the time it be- gan to apply ants until the time it quit or the ants were removed.
The oriole's selectivity also demonstrates that the behavior of birds in the presence of ants cannot be evaluated without determination of the ant species and variability within the colony.
During the oriole's treatment of the wing tip, when tail was pressing against it, basal parts of rectrices (including undertail coverts) at times received some of the anointment, thus increasing the proportion of applications af- fecting the undertail region.

 NPWRC :: Meadowlarks, Blackbirds, and Orioles
There are two winter records from Wisconsin: three birds that I netted on 16 January 1975 in Pierce County and one bird near Deronda, Polk County, during the 1947-48 winter (Robbins 1948b).
Many of these records are probably referable to western meadowlark; however, plumages are similar to the eastern meadowlark which, confounds identification.
However, one record of an individual on the Solon Springs CBC was probably of a late migrant.

 Embassy Records - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Embassy Records of the UK was wholly owned by Woolworths and was sold exclusively through their stores.
These were recorded and pressed by Oriole Records who had a long-standing co-operation agreement with Embassy and the discs rushed out into the stores to compete with the real thing.

Another piece of good news for orioles that came through loud and clear this year is that kids (and their teachers) love them.
The orioles may be sipping nectar in a Giant Ceiba tree in Guatemala, but winter is actually one of the best times to find oriole nests here at home.
This is a great way to add nest records to the data base and to find pairs of orioles that you missed during the spring and summer; make note of the tree and re-check the area after May 15.

 Orchard Oriole
There are records of as many as 20 nests in a single live oak tree in Arkansas, and as many as 114 nests made up one colony on 7 acres in Louisiana.
During the breeding season, Orchard Orioles range from the southern parts of the Canadian Prairie provinces, southern Ontario, central New York, and southern New England south to northern Florida, the Gulf coast, Texas and central Mexico.
Males have a color pattern superficially similar to that of the Baltimore Oriole except that they are deep chestnut (the only icterid that is largely chestnut) rather than orange on the underparts and rump.

 A Look at Two Rare Icterids in Santa Cruz County, California
Although both have a similar number of county records, their histories are very different.
These latter records may pertain to over-wintering birds rather than spring migrants, as wintering birds elsewhere in California have lingered beyond these dates and true spring vagrants have been quite rare.
Some unidentified female or immature orioles found in the county during the winter (and some of those occasionally identified as Hooded Oriole) may have been Orchard Orioles.

My records, accumulated over eight years canvassing Williamsville Glen, show our oriole arriving as early as April 30 (in 1990 and 1994) and as late as May 11 (in 1995), with an average arrival date of May 6.
Unlike his darker and rarer congener, the orchard oriole, the male Baltimore oriole also shows a white chevron in each wing.
Orioles' preferred food is caterpillars, which with other insects makes up five sixths of their diet.

Post-Shames, he recorded a self titled album released here in the States on Atlantic, but was a true presence in the English folk scene and released many albums overseas.
When CBS bought Oriole, Mike was part of the move and he subsequently engineered literally dozens and dozen of hit records for CBS through the years.
I think she once felt that way, Justin, but I recently caught a Patty interview on the E! channel, and she said she had since revised her opinion and realised that the show still holds a place in many hearts, which is why she did the "reunion special" TV movie in 1999.

Zapruder's track record notwithstanding, none of the tunes here sound as if they were penned with a deadline looming, and that's not just because the tempos tend to creep along.
This Is a Beautiful Town is a warm, close record that dwells entirely in a hypnotic, mid-tempo universe.

Rollercoaster records released a mini album of the McDevitt group's contribution to this epic show, using tapes that had lain dormant until 1994.
Gerry Myers a disc jockey in Canada had plugged the record regularly; this was picked up by the nearby New York jocks and in no time it was a hit throughout the U.S.A. It peaked at number 4 in the Variety disc jockey charts but was overtaken by Rusty Draper's version in the Billboard chart.

This rare photograph shows a recording in progress at the Embassy Recording Studios in New Bond Street, Mayfair, which were shared with the Oriole Label.
The challenge for Woolies and Oriole bosses was to predict which new release songss would get into the charts (at the time called the "Hit Parade") and have cover versions ready for sale when they did.

Oriole also released some of Motown's first American hits in the UK in the early 1960s, but none charted.
Oriole handled the label from late 1962 until it was acquired by CBS (CBS wanted the firm's pressing plant because it was pigged off with working through Philips).
Oriole did very well in moving Motown within about a year from the completely obscure label that only the most dyed-in-the-wool RandB enthusiasts knew about (when its product had been released on the London, then Fontana labels) to one which had attained cult status.

I think Tina Charles also recorded some tracks for the Top of the Pops series (is she the voice on the TOTP version of “When Will I See You Again”?).
Nevertheless, Lynn Cornell did record for Oriole as Lorna Henderson so it is a plausible that she also recorded for Embassy.
It is also possible that some artistes mentioned as having recorded for Embassy weren’t involved in any of the material that was released as singles and could have recorded material destined for album release.

It was in 1956 that Ella Fitzgerald finally joined Granz's "community", after a long contract with [[Decca records], and Granz unified his activities under the common label of Verve records.
Norman Granz is generally remembered also for his notable anti-racist position and for the battles he consequently fought for his artists (many of whom were fl, perhaps the majority), in times and places where skin color was the cause of open discrimination.

 Robert Farnon Society
Levy’s Sound Studios was one of very few recording studios outside the major record labels that were established in the thirties, a unique feature being their pressing factories they operated at Aston Clinton and Colnbrook.
Too little weight and the record would not play, too much and a sapphire cutting needle would grind itself through the lacquer surface into the aluminium base of the blank and be ruined.
As I recorded the master discs for the factory, the limiter compressed the dynamic range and created a "wall of sound" enabling at least 8db additional level on the disc, and gave the recording a totally different feel.

 Journey North Oriole
The birds' measurements and often their weights, their age (if it can be determined) and sex are recorded along with the band number.
But the difference in the number banded may also be partly due to another reason: Over the years, many more bird banders have lived and worked in the eastern half of North America than the western half, where Bullock's live.
One reason that orioles don't get recaptured often may be that orioles that DO get tangled in mist nets might start paying closer attention so it doesn't happen again!

It wasn't the song that matter, it was the intro: The record was "Move It" by Cliff Richard.
Anyway, in England, there were two big record companies, EMI and Decca, and EMI won the Battle of the Bands because they signed the Beatles while Decca got the Rolling Stones.
But I would think anyone listening to this record who knows the budget that was spent for it would be strongly advised to race to Laurence Juber's door and demand that he produce them.
