Bullock's oriole

Now a Bullock’s oriole who ended up in the Ottawa area is set to finally fly home to western North America – in the passenger cabin of an Air Canada flight.

The decision was made to send her to British Columbia, the northernmost point of the Bullock’s oriole’s habitat.

There are also dozens of ornithological changes, at least one of which should disappoint baseball fans: the Baltimore oriole, now interbred with the Western Bullock's oriole, is renamed the Northern oriole.

Bullock's oriole and the Louisiana tanager are here also, with many warblers and other little mountain troubadours, most of them now busy about their nests.

Bullock's oriole of California weaves its nest entirely of the long, strong threads which it draws out of the palm-leaves.
