The story of the bird
The Scott’s Oriole brings the desert Southwest into the home, its lemon-yellow and jet-black plumage blazing against dry grey-green scrub like something that wandered in from the tropics. A striking gift for birders with ties to Texas, New Mexico or Arizona, or anyone who loves a desert-themed room.

About the bird
Icterus parisorum breeds in the desert mountains of the Southwest wherever yuccas and agaves grow tall enough to hang a nest from, arriving in April and departing for Mexico by August. Its rich, fluted song is often ranked among the finest oriole songs on the continent.
