You can save a list of birds you’ve captured with it. I have 134 species saved. Last edited by Average Joe; 04/11/26 09:05 AM.

My favorite at the feeder too. Got a photo from a speeding camera in the mail. I immediately sent it back - way too expensive and really poor quality.

Would that still be the bird you mentioned? If it was vivid yellow and not orange, there are no options really, it's a pretty unique bird. The amount of yellow is variable, females have less yellow, you can google it up. Its Latin name actually translates as "yellowhead yellowhead". Scott's oriole, maybe?
