Episode Information
Bullock's Oriole - Blaze of Orange
Aired:
07/11/2009
A dazzling bolt of avian lightning -- a blaze of neon-orange, shooting across a gray, sage-covered hillside on quick wing-beats. It's a Bullock’s Oriole, sailing out from its nest among the upper branches of a cottonwood, hunting for insects in the shrubby sage. Bullock’s Orioles return north from Mexico in May to nest along many lowland streams east of the Cascades, and all over the West. They eat small invertebrates, ripe fruit, and nectar.
