Spotted
The Bahama Oriole is a critically endangered songbird endemic to the Bahamas, recognized by its glossy black head and body, contrasting with bright yellow shoulders and a yellow rump. Its population is severely threatened.
Where to spot
Endemic to the Bahamas, primarily restricted to Andros Island. Inhabits pine forests and developed areas, especially those with fruit trees and palms.
How to spot
Look for its glossy black body with yellow shoulders and rump. Its distinctive, rich, whistled song is a key identification aid. Patience and persistence are vital due to its rarity.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Observing this rare bird requires visiting specific locations on Andros Island and checking suitable habitats.
This species faces an extreme threat from brood parasitism by the Shiny Cowbird, which lays its eggs in the oriole's nest, often at the expense of the oriole's own young.
