Stunning yellow, orange black bird.
Sonoran Desert.
Have been trying to get close to these guys for a long time. Finally! Such beautiful colors. This one is in an eucaliptus tree, sometimes picking their berries! Absolutely georgous!

Thanks Ashley, could not get any other pictures of his body but am staking him out!
I'm pretty sure this is either a Hooded Oriole or young Orchard Oriole. The black doesn't look like enough to be a Hooded Oriole, I'm leaning towards young male Orchard Oriole. It would help if you have any pictures of the wings? But take a look at Google and see what you think!
