This morning around 8am in western Boca Raton at Daggerwing Nature Center, I was doing the bird count and saw what I am thinking is a male Hooded Oriole. He was very yellow-orange with the black bib, wings/back and tail, with white wing patches. What makes me think this is that there were no spots on the chest and there were only white wing patches (unlike the Spot-breasted Oriole). He did seem bigger than what the books said he should be... As my friend was running inside the Center to get the camera, he flew away. He did have a very loud and long, high pitched, rolling song. I work at the center, and have never seen him there before and no one has mentioned seeing orioles out there. Any comments/suggestions?
