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

Wet Female Baltimore Oriole.

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.

Put some halved oranges in the backyard and in just one day the first oriole showed up

Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula). LIFER! Rennie's River Trail, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. April 23rd, 2022.

This is the third of a trio of uncommon to rare birds that showed up at this location.

Not a bad photo, if you ignore the branch!

This little guy was putting up quite the racket. Mom was out getting bugs and stopped in once in a while to feed it. Shot in a very dark woods.

Oriole and Raven Stadiums as seen while flying low over Baltimore. You can see Interstate 95 running along the top side of the frame with I-395 spur that comes into the downtown area dropping down into the scene coming past the stadiums.

For best view left click on the photo and see it better.

Thank you for your kind views, comments, awards and favs.

Odd fact: The Baltimore Oriole received its name from the fact that the male's colors resembled those on the coat of arms of Lord Baltimore.

I love my yard!!! I counted 17 different species of birds in the yard today and this Baltimore Oriole was one of them.

1st year male Baltimore Oriole

Wisconsin River, Wisconsin

Baltimore Oriole

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.

FOY sighting of this scarce favorite

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!

Still the odd one showing up at the backyard feeders.
