This bright, flaming orange male Baltimore Oriole lit up the drab colors of the tangle of branches on the bank of the Clinton River.

Baltimore Oriole (female), Wildwood Lake, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Baltimore Oriole received its name from the resemblance of the male's colors to those on the coat-of-arms of Lord Baltimore.

FOY sighting of this scarce favorite

Most Baltimore Orioles spend their winters basking in sunny climes from southern Mexico to northwestern South America or on islands in the Caribbean. Some winter along the Gulf Coast and elsewhere in the southeastern United States. Every April and May, they return to their breeding grounds, where males try to assert their dominance over a 2-3 acre plot of land and wait for females to arrive.

I love this delicate pose hanging off a vine, with the springtime buds just newly opened.

Baltimore, Maryland

Baltimore orioles have very bold and pretty plumage, especially when seen in person. I believe this is a younger male as the head and neck are not fully black. Still quite pretty.

From what I've seen in photos, these birds are easy to attract with oranges. I will have to give that a try!
