Baltimore Oriole sing nest fly Icterus galbula female male

Shows wild Baltimore Orioles (Icterus galbula,) singing, perching, and flying under natural conditions. Also shows the elaborate Oriole nest. Females and males are shown.

The adult female is yellow brown on its upper portion with darker wings and a dull orange breast and belly. The adult male has orange plumage on its underparts, shoulder, and rump. The rest is black.

The male's song is a loud whistle. The Oriole likes to eat tree seeds and that is why they are often found in the tops of trees. They are very difficult to see, because they hide.

The Baltimore Orioles is an American baseball team in Baltimore, Maryland, which was named after the bird. It is also the stat bird of Maryland.

Beautiful bird.... I live in Southern Arizona, and we see the Hooded Orioles often in the springtime, they are beautiful too, they look like they have a black mask on. They come around and hit the hummingbird feeders up, or have a drink of water and then they are gone.

The bird that you viewed from 0:50 to 1:39 is the Orchard Oriole. He is a dark red and brownish colour.

These birds also seem to love jelly. I'm from Minnesota and set jelly out a a dish and tie it to my deck and they come like crazy!

People on here that say they've never seen a Baltimore Oriole in Baltimore are staying in their houses too much.

I use a half-sliced orange and set it out on the patio or tied to a tree branch and you will have them hanging out in less than 3 days. The color of orange attracts both females AND other males.
