I am not a "Birder" and I took this photo of a bird in my back yard only because it is so colorful. I see a few every winter and just assumed that they are a common Baltimore Oriole. I sent the pic to a friend of mine who is an avid bird watcher and he identified it as a Lichtenstien's Oriole which is very rare and is know to exist only around Brownsville, Texas. He claims they have never been spotted outside their small home range and is all excited that they migrate to Fort Lauderdale every winter. What can I say...we got great weather down here.
Can anyone confirm that his identification is correct?
