About These Birds
Black-backed Oriole
The Black-backed Oriole is a colorful icterid endemic to the pine-oak forests of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt and Sierra Madre del Sur in central Mexico. Males have a brilliant orange body with a black back, wings, and tail. It feeds on nectar, insects, and fruit in forest canopy and edges.
Baudo Oropendola
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.
