Baltimore Oriole

A Baltimore Oriole was found in Stone, ID, a small town just north of the Utah border. Baltimore Oriole is a common eastern bird, but quite rare in Idaho, one or two previous records. I left early this morning and had no trouble refinding the bird. There were several Bullock's Orioles in the area, but this bird stayed by itself and seemed to be trying to establish a territory. I managed to take a few photographs of the bird. Here they are.
