While we were staying at Lewis and Clark caverns there was a nest of Black Headed Grosbeak birds in our campsite....of course I had to take a few photo's. They are really pretty birds with a really weird tear drop shaped nest! If I identified them incorrectly please enlighten me, thanks!
Excellent photos of a pretty bird, RE.

It certainly is a beautiful set to view; however, the nest certainly looks like a typical Oriole nest to me. Sibley's bird guide appears to agree with the Altimira ID.

Those are Bullock's Orioles.

Beautiful shots, Rena, but I have to agree with those who ID'd them as orioles.

Beautiful shots. They are orioles, though.
