SCOTT ORIOLE. 
504. Icterus parisorum. 8 inches. 
These beautiful birds are found in southwestern 
United States, from California to western Texas. 
They are said to sing more freely than other members 
of the family, but the song, while loud and clear, is of 
short duration. Their nests, which are semi-pensile, are 
often places in giant yucca trees, or in vines that are 
suspended from cacti. The three or four eggs are pale 
blue, scrawled and spotted with black and lavender 
(.95x.65).
