The Bullock's Oriole is fairly common according to Kenn Kaufman, but I haven't seen many. This one was near a creek bottom on the Bison Range, Moise, MT.
This one is a male. It resembles the Baltimore Oriole but has an orange face, more white in the wing and different tail pattern. The female is usually orange as a female Baltimore Oriole, with grayer back, whiter belly, and darker eyeline. This bird is often less musical than the Baltimore Oriole. You will hear whistles, chatters and creaks.
