Icterid page
The orioles, blackbirds, cowbirds and allies. The Icterids are a large group of strong-billed birds limited in distribution to the New World. They have been called the "New
World Blackbirds" or the "Troupials and Allies" or any number of monikers, but it is easiest to think of them "Icterids." The
group includes the bright New World orioles, of which the Altamira Oriole (left in a fine shot by Jeri M. Langham) of south
Texas and northeastern Mexico is an example. [eng]
