  In this contribution, we present a study of ground- and excited-state
$\Omega_c$ and $\Omega_b$ baryons consisting of two strange quarks and a heavy
charm or bottom quark. An analysis in the quark model shows that the recently
observed excited $\Omega_c$ and $\Omega_b$ states can be interpreted in terms
of $\lambda$-mode excitations.
