Spotted
A brilliant and melodious North American songbird, the breeding male Baltimore Oriole is instantly recognizable by its fiery orange and black plumage. Females are duller but still show orange-yellow tones.
Where to spot
Breeds across eastern North America, from southern Canada to the southeastern US. Winters in Central and South America, particularly in Mexico and northern South America.
How to spot
Look for them in deciduous trees at forest edges, parks, and suburban areas. Their bright colors are easily spotted, especially when feeding on flowers or fruit. Listen for their rich, whistled song, which carries well through the trees.
When to spot
Best observed during spring migration (April-May) as they arrive on breeding grounds, or during summer (May-July) when nesting. They are attracted to fruit and nectar feeders.

Baltimore Orioles are master weavers, constructing elaborate, hanging pouch-like nests from plant fibers, string, and even horsehair, which are often suspended from the very tips of tree branches for protection.
