Orioles

In late April, both Cecy Neitz and Judy McCain spotted an Oriole at The Ranch.  Six species of Orioles are listed as being from the Trans-Pecos Area, so their identification was not added to our bird list.  It was thought that the species was Bullock's Oriole; however, we were not sure until it was spotted again by Greg Vederoff.  

The following table lists the Orioles that may occur at The Ranch:
