Black-vented Oriole, a Middle American species, is an accidental visitor to Texas and southern Arizona. This oriole was first reported in the United States in 1968 at Rio Grande Village in Big Bend National Park, Brewster County in September. A Black-vented Oriole, probably the same individual, was present the next summer and was banded. It returned in 1970. In 1989 an individual spent the summer at Kingsville, Kleberg County. The lack of sexual dimorphism made sexing impossible. More

I saw a Black-Vented Oriole at my hummingbird feeder this morning. Is there another name for this bird? I couldn't find it on the Audobon website. I live in South-Central Texas and according to my book it's kind of out of range. More
