SCOTT ORIOLE. 
504. Icterus yarisorum. 8 inches. 
This is not a common species in any part of its range, from 
southern California to Texas, and in Mexico. It is a hand¬ 
somely marked bird, with its clear black and yellow. They 
build a hanging nest, usually suspended from the under sides 
of the leaves of the yucca palm, or from small branches 
of low trees. Three to four bluish white eggs, specked and 
blotched with brown about the larger end (.95x.65). 
SENNETT ORIOLE. 
505. Icterus cucullatus sennetti. 7% inches. 
This is a deeper yellow; the face, throat, back, wings and 
tail being black, the wings with two white bars. Found in 
Texas and south into Mexico. Nests are made of hanging 
moss (not illustrated). 
ARIZONA HOODED ORIOLE. 
505a. Icterus cucullatus nelsoni. 7% inches. 
This is very much like the last, but lighter, and is found 
common in Arizona, New Mexico and southern California. 
Its favorite nesting place seems to be a bunch of Spanish 
moss, looping up the ends and weaving it closely together, 
and forming a pocket inside, which they line with dried 
grasses and yucca fibers.
