Are there any bright yellow birds native to here?

I'm sitting on my porch and just saw the brightest yellow bird, with some black on him, fly by sort of erratically. My first thought was, "whoa that's a huge bumble bee," because of the colors, but in fact it was a bird. He was on the small side, maybe 2/3 the size of an adult robin.

I've never seen such a bright yellow bird in Northwest Ohio before, so I'm guessing this guy is a pet that escaped. Could I be wrong? Any local bird experts here at Toledo Talk?
