 Altamira
OrioleThe Altamira Oriole is bright orange-yellow with a black face and throat, upper back, wings, and tail. Similar to Hooded Oriole but larger, with heavier bill and orange-yellow shoulders. Male and female Altamira Orioles look alike. The Altamira Oriole prefers forests and scattered groves of tall trees near water. The best places to see the Altamira Oriole are the Brownsville region and the Santa Ana Wildlife Refuge. Although mainly found in the dense foliage of tall forest trees, the Altamira Oriole builds a conspicuous nest suspended far out on a slender, drooping limb, safe from most predators. The Altamira Oriole feeds on insects, spiders and fruits such as figs and berries. Attracting Orioles Visit Shaw
