Black-Headed Oriole

Search the canopy of woodland, savanna and garden trees across sub-Saharan Africa for this striking black-and-yellow oriole, which forages for fruit and large insects among leafy branches and is often located by its rich, fluting whistle before it is seen. Activity tends to peak around dawn and dusk. Wooded gardens, riverine forest and savanna edges during the warmer, wetter months typically offer the best combination of activity and visibility.
