Juvenile male or mature female??? Boston, Massachusetts - Today (November 5)

Anyone have any idea what the heck this bird is doing in New England in November? Aren't they supposed to be gone at the end of the summer???????

I'd probably call this one a mature female Baltimore Oriole, due to the relatively clean plumage. As for what it's doing in New England - some birds just don't listen to their internal clocks. Hormone imbalance or something. Whatever reason, this bird is hanging around, so, good bird for fall!

Mature female was what I was thinking as well. I'm more intrigued by the date haha. This is the latest I've ever seen one of these birds. On the bright side, it's the one time of the year they have camouflage hahah
