Hi Sweetheart, Yes that is a Hooded Oriole. Just needs to be a bit more orange rather than yellow. The Baltimore is orange with a black head. Range: breeds in SW U.S., Northern Mexico. Habitat: Open woods, shade trees, palms. Watch for that Belted Kingfisher that we saw by your lake. He chatters alot.
Love, Dad.
Heidi,
I can totally hear your dad's voice as I read his post. Exactly.
I saw some new pictures that your mom had. Pretty cute little guy you have!
Blessings,
Kathy
