Another bird shot. Not sure what this guy is either. I love being there and hearing their songs. This image was taken with my Nikon 70-300mm and found it really had a hard time focusing on the bird. It sure searches more than the bigger and faster 70-200mm f2.8.

Nikon D100
1/250s f/5.6 at 300.0mm full exif

From the details I can see, I'd say he's an immature Bullock's Oriole. If so, next summer the yellow will turn to bright orange, and he'll have more white on his wings. The map in my guide indicates that this species is also in the Pacific Northwest, but I don't think I've ever seen one.
