There's a Hooded Oriole family in the trees! A group of baby's hanging around, but I can't tell if all of them are baby Hooded Orioles. I was thinking that three of the younger ones are female and one a male because it's already got yellow feathers. Yesterday the mom had palm fibers, looks like she's getting ready for another brood.. Here's a male Hooded Oriole!
Female Hooded Oriole!
Beautiful shots arries!!!
Young Hooded Oriole!
Here are the other young birds hanging around. These are the ones I thought "think" are baby Hooded Orioles, maybe the female and one male in the yellow.... Don't know for sure, maybe some else knows if they are or what they are?
Thanks pelletory!
The fourth image here, I'm wondering if another bird laid eggs in the nest....lol! The beaks don't look like the Hooded Oriole..do the young females look like this?
Beautiful bird, arries, and excellent photos.
Thanks linthicum, I love taking pictures!
Pic 4, the young are Brown-headed Cowbirds, so it looks like your oriole nest got hit by them.

I just found out that Pic 4 might be House Finches. I did see a male flying around, but I thought those were sparrows, but I don't know to much about the diverse bird species. I guess they were just hanging around with the young Hooded Oriole because today they weren't hanging out together.
I read one source that the Hooded Oriole is "solitary" [may I miss read], and another saying they are social, and the parents didn't seem to mind their young one hanging out with House Finches. So cute!
Just sharing a couple pictures of the same Hooded Orioles from today.
