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.
