    Question about Hooded Orioles in SoCal

    oops..subject should read "hooded" I have had many Hooded Orioles at my hummingbird feeders this spring/summer.

    What is this bird in my (California) backyard

    I could use some help with the identification of a pair I have nesting currently. When I was only aware of one (before coming across a nest and 2 fledlgings yesterday) I thought maybe it was an immature American Robin who hadn't gotten his chest color in yet. Now I realize I have a pair of...
