January 31, 2024 - Orange-crowned Oriole (Icterus auricapillus)

These orioles are found in and around humid forests and in cultivated areas with trees in parts of northern South America. Foraging in pairs, small family groups, and mixed-species flocks with other orioles, they feed on arthropods, fruits, and nectar. Their hanging nests are woven mainly from palm fibers, usually under palm fronds. Females lay clutches of two eggs.
