About These Birds
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.
Black Oropendola
The Black Oropendola is a large, distinctive oropendola with mostly black plumage, a chestnut-brown rump and tail, a pink facial patch, and a long pale bill. It inhabits humid tropical forests of Colombia and Panama, where it nests colonially in tall emergent trees. It feeds on large insects, fruits, and nectar, and males display dramatically at nesting colonies with bowing displays.
