Re: Can somebody ID this bird?

Orioles not only like oranges but when the orange insides is ate up you can fill the shell with Grape jelly and they like that just as well.

Yep both the birds in the photo are Orioles, Male and Female. Cedar Waxwings (at least the male) Have a tuft on the back of their head.

Re: Can somebody ID this bird?

After doing some Googling research I gotta go with a waxwing. Too many similarities to the one in the photo, see below...

A female oriole (at least a hooded oriole)looks like this:

The waxwing appears to have those little red and yellow tips on their tails and wings and a Tammy Faye eyeliner job.

Most female orioles lack these features but do display a rather prominent copyright line across their mid and lower body.

Thanks for all the responses. That was fun.:)
