This was very exciting to see this Hooded Oriole, a species new to Alaska — discovered on September 19, 2015.
Information on this species can be found in Pleasants, Barbara Y. and Daniel J. Albano. 2001. Hooded Oriole (Icteruscucullatus), The Birds of North America Online (A. Poole, Ed.).

Of most interest is the distance from Alaska that this bird is normally found: chart from the account listed above.
