Habitats
Yellow-backed orioles are able to tolerate a wide variety of habitats, but prefer open, mixed pine-oak woodlands and dry scrub forest. This species has also been sighted in banana plantations. It has occasionally colonized lowland deciduous forest.
This species is usually found in regions that are less than 900 meters in altitude, though in Central and South America populations are often seen residing at elevations greater than 1000 m. The upper altitude limit for populations observed in the wild appears to be about 3 km.
