ABSTRACT.—A pair of Black-vented Orioles (Icterus wagleri) successfully fledged young from a nest inside a log cabin in the Montecristo National Park, El Salvador. This is the first breeding record of the species for El Salvador. The nest was hammock-shaped, 18 x 20 cm outside, 6 cm deep inside, and contained four eggs. The pair renested after the first clutch failed, using the same nest, incubating and rearing three young over 34 days.
