    I saw an adult male HOODED ORIOLE in the Oakland Zoo at around 1 PM on 
    Tuesday.  I first saw the bird near the lower corner of the Malayan Sun Bear 
    enclosure; later I again saw a Hooded Oriole, presumably the same individual, 
    feeding at some flowering bushes behind the flamingo/spoonbill area.
    
    Between 1990 and 2000, I lived in Berkeley and Oakland.  I birded around the hills 
    rather often, but never saw this species in the area till today.  
    
    I recognize the possibility that this bird may not be wild.  If someone knows that the 
    bird has captive origins, please let me know.  Thank you.
