Golden Oriole

Icterus bonana

The Golden Oriole (Icterus bonana) is a striking bird with bright yellow plumage, black wings, and a distinctive melodic song. These medium-sized birds are known for their secretive nature, often staying hidden within the dense foliage of broadleaf woodlands and forest edges. They are skilled at catching insects in flight and also feed on fruits and berries. The Golden Oriole is known for its beautiful flute-like song, which is often heard during the breeding season. These birds migrate to tropical Africa during the winter months, where they inhabit similar woodland habitats.
