orchard oriole

The orchard oriole (Icterus spurius) is a bird species found in eastern North America. It is smaller than the Baltimore oriole. Adult males are a rich chestnut color with a black head, neck, and upper back.1

Orioles, in general, are perching birds belonging to either the Old World genus Oriolus or the New World genus Icterus. Males of these groups typically display black and yellow or black and orange plumage, often with some white. Females tend to be plainer. These birds are generally shy and inhabit treetops in woodlands and gardens, primarily in warm regions. They are insectivorous, though some species also consume fruit. The name "oriole" was given to New World birds by early settlers due to their black-and-yellow patterns resembling European orioles.2
