- Populasi
- ~12 million (global breeding population); Continental Concern Score 10/20; North American BBS shows a decline of just over 1%/year, ~46% cumulative decline 1966-2019, unevenly distributed geographically
- Habitat
- Open woodland edges, riverine groves, orchards, and semi-open deciduous woodlands near parks, lakes, and streams; nests in a tightly woven pouch attached to a horizontal branch fork
- Fakta menarik
- The Orchard Oriole is the smallest oriole (icterid) species in North America, and adult males are unusual among orioles for their dark chestnut (rather than bright orange) underparts; the species name "spurius" stems from an 18th-century misidentification of the male as a female Baltimore Oriole.
- Sebaran
- Breeds across eastern and central North America (from roughly the Canada-US border south through the central US into northern/central Mexico, including thorn forests of Baja California Sur and coastal Sinaloa); winters from coastal Mexico (central Sinaloa, southern Veracruz) south through Central America to northern Colombia and northwestern Venezuela
