Our Silky Oak has been a hive of activity this season with many birds coming to feed on its flowers. Among these were a pair of Olive-backed Orioles. I have also added a video of the call of the Oriole. It sounds just like its name, "oriole". Other birds you may hear are Magpie Lark, Torresian Crow, Rainbow Lorikeet, Common Koel and Figbird.

ReplyDeleteIt's been about 17 years since I've seen an Olive-backed Oriole.
ReplyDeleteGood sound on the video! I enjoyed the photos, but am glad you ID'd the bird; I was thinking it was something else and wouldn't have checked otherwise.
ReplyDeletenice to hear the sound in the movie.
