Look Up
Given the bold orange and black colors of the male Baltimore Oriole, these birds are hard to miss, even though they are often seen high in deciduous trees.
The bird takes its name from the 17th century Lord Baltimore, because its colors resemble those of that family's coat of arms. And though the Baltimore Oriole is the state bird of Maryland and the mascot of the Baltimore Orioles baseball team, this one was photographed in Illinois.
