By 2017, Hooded Orioles were using parks and suburban yards as far north as Arcata, California.

Hooded Orioles expanded their range northward after people planted more ornamental palm trees around their homes and suburban areas.

They use these bills to get at food other birds can’t reach, such as prying apart thick patches of grass, opening up flowers, enlarging holes in tree bark, and digging into ripe fruits for their juice. Birds in this family all have super strong, long, and pointed bills.

Orioles are members of the blackbird family (Icteridae), along with meadowlarks and cowbirds.
