Bullock's Orioles in Austin Texas (1 Viewer)

[PhotoSyko]

Just saw a male and female Bullock's Oriole here in Austin.
And saw this one trailing behind. I assume it's a Juvie Bullock's?

Adult yellow warbler.
Juvenile birds are essentially the same size as adults.

Thanks. Still a good capture for me

Female Bullock's?

 

[Butty]

Too much black on the head. I'd take it to be a female Baltimore oriole or female Scott's oriole.

Wow, I'm off! This one? They seemed to be traveling together.

Adult male Baltimore oriole. Bullock's oriole has a very-different head-pattern. I do commend you to invest in a field guide: it's far and away the best way to learn bird ID and would likely change your birding life

Well, I'm embarrassed now!... Spent my whole life in Virginia with Baltimores, but 20 years in texas I've only seen Bullock's I definitely need that bird guide now.
