Description
The Bullock's Oriole (Icterus bullockii) is a small blackbird measuring about 9 inches in length and about 1.3 ounces in weight. While the Bullock's and Baltimore Orioles are similar (but not the same) in appearance, and were once considered to be a single species, Bullock's Oriole has a black eyeline, black throat, yellow-orange head, a pointed and straight bill, and a large white wing-panel. It is native in the western United States, in habitat with deciduous trees (preferably Cottonwood, Pecan, Eucalyptus, and Willow), open areas, and water sources. Preferred foods include insects, fruit, berries, and nectar in low brush and in trees.
This male Bullock's Oriole perched on a tree branch while foraging was photographed at the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve, Los Angeles, California, on 6-26-2021. I used a Nikon D850 camera body and a Nikon 500mm f/5.6 PF VR lens to capture this image. Settings: 1/3200 sec, f/5.6, ISO 2000.
