The Variable Oriole is a polymorphic species, meaning it exhibits different color morphs, ranging from mostly black with orange shoulders to more extensively orange or yellow with black markings. It's a striking resident of South American dry forests.
Where to spot
Found in southeastern South America, including parts of Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia. Inhabits dry woodlands, thorny scrub, and chaco forests.
How to spot
Observe carefully for its black body with varying amounts of orange or yellow, especially on the shoulders and belly. Its vocalizations are key for identification, differing from the Epaulet Oriole.
When to spot
Year-round resident. Most active during the breeding season (Southern Hemisphere spring/summer).
