Unidentified Bird Identified


I've been relying on my trusty Birds of Minnesota Field Guide to help me identify the birds that come to my feeder, and it really bothered me that I couldn't figure out the oriole-like bird that likes oranges, but was rusty colored instead of orange.

I went online last night and found my bird. It is an Orchard Oriole! I used a great site that asks questions to help you narrow the search down. Use the Step By Step Search to find your bird.
