Hooded Oriole, juvenile

Stevens Creek, north of 101

This is a juvenile; the plumage is fresh at a time of year when an adult female would be very worn. Also note the "rictal flanges," the grooves around the base of the bill, which are characteristic of juvenile birds.


other sizes: small medium large original auto
