Martinique Oriole

Martinique Oriole

Icterus bonana
Riviere Blanche forest track, Martinique - December 5 2025
The two endemic Orioles on my tour are both threatened by human activities, but also from nest-robbing Mongooses. And I saw those Mongooses everywhere. Especially the St. Lucia Oriole is declining rapidly in numbers, but the Martinique Oriole wins my heart by its intriguing coloration of autumnal tones in maroon and amber.
