Bird ID, Delray Beach, Fl. (60 miles north of Miami).

I have lived in Delray Beach/Gulf Stream, Fl. for over 35 years and have never seen the attached birds (2) before. About two weeks ago I saw a flock of 15 or 20 in the bushes along a canal. My guess is a Summer Tanager but I am not at all confident. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Note on the All About Birds map of its range it is in one small part of Florida parts of Central America and a few places on the West Coast of Mexico.

Thanks for above two replies. I believe the problem is solved. The Spot-breasted Oriole was introduced to S. Fla. back in the 1940s. It is established here but not real common. I will keep my eye opened for more.

Oriole. We don't have them around here but I enjoy seeing them when I travel. One of Nature's true beauties.
