Crested Oropendola (Yellow Tail) shows its bright yellow tail, perching on a tree full of air plants. Who can forget the male bird's liquid vibrato call- CreeeEEEoooooooooo. Both sexes have a loud clack call. The Oropendola gets its name from the male's mating behavior. It hangs upside down (like a pendulum), spreads its wings, and sings to prospective mates.
