Icterus galbula
Black head with orange breast perched in a dead elm tree. Excellent song
According to Audubon, the bird prefers deciduous woodlands and shade trees. Prior to the tree's decline, the bird's favorite nesting was the American elm.
The Baltimore Oriole and Bullock Oriole are now considered the northern oriole. They are separate species that interbreed.
