Lots o' crazy oriole action

After Colorado's first Streak-backed Oriole (found on a snowy bird table), now Newfoundland has just scored a Bullock's Oriole. All photos on N. American Stop Press (http://www.surfbirds.com/cgi-bin/gallery/display.cgi?gallery=gallery10)

We just got a Scott's Oriole at Falcon Dam and there has been an influx of Audubon's Orioles into San Antonio this winter and I just found one at the Edinburg wetlands. Now can anyone find us a Black-vented?

Interesting. Find a Black-vented (http://www.texasbirds.org/tbrc/bvoriole.htm) and you could start a small scramble down to the valley.

Now there's a Scott's Oriole in NY!! See link here to photos (http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Mail/Jersey_Birds/213772). Definitely the year of the oriole. Not a single streak-backed has been found in california yet this winter though.
