  1. Sounds like you had an early Baltimore Oriole visiting. They’re the only orange and black birds I know of in Canada, but check out this page to make sure http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Baltimore_Oriole/id

  2. saw a different kind of bird today at 4:00pm.
    We live near Creston, BC.
    The bird was orange and black, had a black beak, not short, head was striped and down the neck, with bright orange and black, speckled with orange and black, cannot find a picture of it.
    Do you know what kind of bird it would be?
