My son took these nice pictures then asked me to identify the bird!  I'm not
sure and would welcome a confirmation or correction.
http://picasaweb.google.com/mvalencic/UnidentifiedBirds  I think it is a
female orchard oriole.  It appears hooded like a Mourning Warbler but the
bill looks heavier, like an oriole, and the legs are dark, not pink-ish.  It
lacks an eye ring and has a definite wing bar, but only one.  Under tail
coverts are yellow.  Viewing several on-line photos it favors the female
orchard - but I have been wrong before !!



Thanks in advance for your help,
