Yellow-tailed Oriole

I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes


For this week's wild bird I am sharing another Belize lifer.. The Yellow-tailed Oriole..a passerine bird in the New World. It breeds from Mexico to western Peru and northwestern Venezuela.



This Oriole is mainly yellow with a black back..lower face and upper breast..and a yellow rump


This Oriole has been reducing in numbers in its range due to the cage-bird trade..it is valued for its beautiful appearance and song.. I wish there was a way to put a stop to the trade and sale of wild birds. Many wild birds become extinct due to habitat loss and pet trade..


I can see a small section  of the black tail edged in yellow on this shot..This Yellow-tailed Oriole was seen during my birding tour along the Sittee River in Hopkins, Belize..



I hope you enjoyed my Belize bird and lifer.. Thanks for stopping by my post and for all the nice comments.
