BLACK-HEADED ORIOLES SINGING

Listen to the beautiful liquid calls of two Black-headed Orioles singing in a very tall tree.
Interesting historic fact: the type specimen was from the van Stadens River near Uitenhage.
Afrikaans: Swartkopwieliewaal
IsiXhosa: Umkro or Umqokolo

I had a hooded oriole come visit this morning what a beautiful song i think ive heard it but never knew who they were thanks for the video.

Lucky you! Where is the hooded oriole found? I've never heard of it.

@@lynetterudman I might be incorrect about the hooded this seems to be in the USA , in trying to identify it it might be a juvenile possibly it doesn't have a red beak the head is not quite black perhaps you could help ? czcams.com/users/shortsVOTxhDn3sug?si=v68gIOigPVwbw1Ga
