ARIZONA HOODED ORIOLE.
505a. Icterus cucullatus nelsoni. 7½ 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.
