Spot-breasted Oriole
I've never seen one of these before and the local birders and photographers were pretty excited to have one regularly visiting. I've gone several times but only today was able to spot it and spend some time observing its behavior and hearing its songs. Its call goes between something harsh, like a jay, to something sweet like a songbird. It bounced inside and on the edges of a hedge picking insects off the leaves. I read that they are not native to Florida but have taken up a residence here. Otherwise, you need a passport to go see them.
