The Baudo oropendola (Psarocolius cassini) is a Vulnerable species of bird in the family Icteridae, the oropendolas, New World orioles, and New World blackbirds. It is endemic to Colombia. The Baudo oropendola was formally described in 1898 with the binomial Gymnostinops cassini. The genus Gymnostinops was later merged into the current Psarocolius. Some authors have suggested that the Baudo oropendola, the black oropendola (P. guatimozinus), and the olive oropendola (P. bifasciatus) should be merged as a single species.
The Baudo oropendola is monotypic. Male Baudo oropendolas are about 46 cm (18 in) long and females about 39.5 cm (16 in). The sexes are similar though females are smaller than males and have duller plumage. Adults have a mostly black head, breast, and belly. They have a patch of bare pinkish skin on their face and a pink wattle at the base of the bill. Their back, rump, wings, flanks, and crissum are chestnut. Their tail's central pair of feathers are black and the rest yellow; because the black ones are shorter than the others the tail often looks completely yellow from below. They have a large bill with a swollen casque... Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Baudó Oropendola sighting in Utría National Natural Park on a given day, based on 24 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 101st most-seen of the 154 birds we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 50%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and August
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Baudó Oropendola in Utría National Natural Park on a given day, against under 5% in September and October, the lowest months. April, June and December have too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Baudó Oropendola sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Utría National Natural Park, in our data
Utría National Natural Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Baudó Oropendola sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Baudó Oropendola is recorded against all the birds logged in Utría National Natural Park (24 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
