The hooded oriole (Icterus cucullatus) is named because it has a yellow-orange hood. The male is yellow to orange with a black tail and black wings with two white bars on them. It has a black throat and face and a long, thin, curved black bill. The female is greenish-grey above and yellow on her undersides. She also has two white bars on her wings. The hooded oriole can be found living in open woods and areas with palm trees, mesquite or dry shrubs in the southwestern U.S. and Mexico.
