icterus galbula

  1. Baltimore Oriole

    Baltimore Oriole

    A brilliant adult male, named by Catesby for the heraldic colors of Lord Baltimore. It will escape the purge of eponymous English names threatened by the AOS by the twisted logic that the bird was named after the black and orange colors and not a person. Formerly lumped with Bullock's Oriole...

    Grabbed the camera from inside to get a shot of RT Hawk fending off Bald Eagle. Missed that scene, but this guy landed right in front of me for a short while.

    Just a bunch of branches

    Oh and a Baltimore Oriole Still widespread and common, but surveys show declines in recent decades. In the mid 20th century, Dutch elm disease killed many of the American elms that had been favorite nesting trees for this species in the past.

    Male Baltimore Oriole. They are arriving. The male oriole is slightly larger than the female, although the size dimorphism is minimal by icterid standards. Adults always have white bars on the wings. The adult male is orange on the underparts shoulder patch and rump, with some birds appearing...
