Birds and Nature Vol. 09 No. 5 [May 1901] - Illustrated by Color Photography

The name oriole is from the French word oriol, which is a corruption of the Latin word aureolus, meaning golden. The name was originally applied to a vire, but is now used in a much wider sense and includes a number of birds. The orioles of America belong to a very different group of birds and are related to our blackbirds, the bobolink and the meadowlark. All these birds belong to the family Icteridae, the representatives of which are confined to the New World. Audubons Oriole, the male of which we illustrate, has a very limited range, including the valley of the Lower Rio Grande in Texas and southward in Mexico to Oaxaca. It is more common in central and eastern Mexico than in any other part of its range. In the summer, it only frequents the denser forests of its Texas home, but during the winter months it will approach the inhabited regions. The Mexicans capture these Orioles and offer them for sale.
