Altamira Oriole

 The Altamira oriole is a large oriole that lives in Mexico and Central America. The northern edge of the range of the Altamira extends into southern Texas, which is the only place in the United States where these orioles can normally be found. They eat primarily insects, which they glean from the trees, with a little bit of fruit. Since these foods can be found all year long with in their range the Altamira do not typically migrate.

Like many other species of orioles the Altamira weaves a nest from roots, sticks, vines, grasses and other materials. The woven nest hangs down below the branch instead of sitting on the branch like other most species of birds. Their nest is longer then any other bird in North America.
