About These Birds
Altamira Oriole
The Altamira Oriole is a striking icterid weighing around 55 g with a 23.3 cm wingspan, native to lowland scrub and riparian woodlands of northeastern Mexico and southern Texas. Its brilliant orange-and-black plumage and loud, melodious song make it conspicuous in its habitat.
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.
