Black and yellow birds: Black-naped oriole v. Elegant tit

La Mesa Ecopark identification project

• finished identifying 130 species of observations from Quezon City, Luzon Island, Philippines
• next step: 72 species to identify from 2023 January to June (page 3 of 4)

• not gonna lie, I got confused between:
  the Black-naped oriole Oriolus chinensis chinensis and the Elegant tit Periparus elegans

Family Oriolidae: Old World Orioles
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/186060790

Family Paridae: Tits, Chikadees, and Titmice
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/181791513

Both are Order Passeriformes, or Perching Birds.

Ending this post with a beautiful bird call from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, recorded by Benjamin Clock. A wood thrush! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcR6XrnD7Yc
