T here are eight species of orioles seen regularly in North America north of Mexico.
Of these, only five species have large ranges that cover several states. The other three species have very limited ranges. The Altamira and Audubon's Orioles live only in the southern tip of Texas, and the Spot-breasted Oriole lives on the east coast of Florida. Two Mexican species of orioles are seen irregularly in the southern United States. The Black-vented is so rare in the United States that we have not included it in this guide.
