The Black-vented Oriole is a striking songbird of central Mexico, known for its brilliant yellow-orange body, black wings with white wing bars, and a black mask and bib. It is very similar to Audubon's Oriole.
Where to spot
Endemic to central and southern Mexico. Inhabits humid and semi-arid forests, forest edges, and cultivated areas, often at higher elevations.
How to spot
Look for its bright yellow-orange body with a black mask and bib. Distinguish it from Audubon's Oriole by its more complex song and subtle plumage details if possible.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most vocal and active during the breeding season (spring/summer).
