Orchard Oriole

Smaller than the Baltimore Oriole, the Orchard Oriole is a slim songbird with a sharply pointed tail.  The adult males have chestnut underparts with a chestnut wing patch.  The female is greenish yellow with two white wing bars.  It usually swoops close to the ground at or below the treetops.
