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.

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

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.

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!

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

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 Oriole

Baltimore, Maryland

Butterfly Saturday

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!

Capture made while flying low over Middle River.

Still the odd one showing up at the backyard feeders.

Thank you for viewing.

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.
