This bright, flaming orange male Baltimore Oriole lit up the drab colors of the tangle of branches on the bank of the Clinton River.
An early arrival. Found in the same area as the nesting pair last year. Down on the path at Lake View.
I took a bit of a break from social media which I believe is important sometimes. I'm back and ready to post though now.
I've been diving into the macro world since I've been gone, I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D
I have to share another picture of this gorgeous bird I am so in love of the colors and how calm they re with people thank you for your visit and have a great day! :)
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.
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!

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.

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!
The common oriole in the eastern U.S., wintering to northern South America. Adult males are stunning: bright orange with a black head and bold white wingbar. Females vary from yellowish to bright orange below, often with blotchy black on the head. Breeds in deciduous trees in open woodlands, forest edges, orchards, riversides, parks, and backyards. Listen for rich whistled song. Visits feeders with nectar and fruits. Females can be very difficult to distinguish from Bullock's Oriole, and hybrids do occur. Baltimore is usually brightest on the breast, not the face.

Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and faved my images. Enjoy the day.
The green (what we usually expect if someone says, "look at that moss,") is the gametophyte phase of this moss. The plants make eggs, and sperm, that fertilizes the egg. Then, if all goes well, a non-green structure, the sporophyte, grows from the fertilized egg. Each sporophyte has a capsule on its end, and spores are grown there, then released, and washed or blown to another occasion.
This entire assembly was (and most likely still is) growing on a downed tree trunk.
Isn't God a great artist? Thank you for looking.
