The Baudo Oropendola is a large, colonial oropendola restricted to the humid lowland forests of the Chocó region in northwestern Colombia. Males are chestnut-brown with a yellow tail and build long, pendulous woven nests in colonies. Its vulnerable status reflects the rapid destruction of Chocó rainforest, one of the world's most biodiverse and threatened regions.
