Thanks for responding smsouthers, appreciated. :-)

Since you live in FL also, keep your eyes open, this is the first time I've seen him myself, so maybe you will too!

There were several in the trees and one ventured down to sit on top of the fence for a minute or two. None came to the bird feeders.

Looks like a Spot-breasted Oriole, a female, maybe a juvie.Its found in south Florida. Thats my best guess...

Bigger than a Cardinal, maybe about equal to a Mockingbird.

I've looked in my bird books and find nothing like it. Closest is a male American Goldfinch, but it has black on its' head.

I have been looking in my field guide. It looks like maybe an orchard oriole?? Not sure though. I am thinking with the color and the size, and they have the same kind of bill.

Could be a Yellow Warbler

Warblers are quite small. This bird is much larger.
