Baltimore Oriole

The Baltimore oriole is a member of the blackbird family associated with open woodland, tall trees and tree-lined human landscapes. Males display contrasting orange and black, while females are generally more subdued. A flexible, pouch-like nest hangs from slender branches, providing support for eggs and young. The birds search foliage for insects and also take fruit or nectar. Their whistled songs and seasonal arrivals make them familiar to many North American birdwatchers.
