Scott Oriole (Icterus parisorum) at Santa Barbara
A young male of this species sang so loudly from a neighboring sycamore tree on the morning of May 7 that he roused me from slumber, although I especially provide against such nonsense by sleeping with a pillow plastered over my ear. The bird challenged several times and then departed down Mission Creek; whither I followed after a hasty toilet, to overtake him an hour later. Mr. George I. Hamlin prepared the skin, and he told me that he had been in pursuit of this same bird in the Oak Park section for a week.
