Bullock's Oriole

• Size: 6.7-7.5" long // 12.2" wingspan
• Diet: insects and other arthropods, as well as fruit and nectar
• Seasonal Habits: Migrate in winter
• Temperament: Aggressive to other birds

Nimble canopy-gleaners of open woodlands in the western U.S., Bullock's Orioles dangle upside down from branches while foraging and weaving their remarkable hanging nests. Adult males are flame-orange with a neat line through the eye and a white wing patch; females are washed in gray and orange. In addition to insects, they eat fruit and nectar, some bird watchers capitalize on by offering nectar, jelly, and orange halves in summer backyards. Listen for their whistling, chuckling song in tall trees along rivers and streams.
