Male Baltimore Oriole
Baltimore Orioles got their name from their bold orange-and-black plumage: they sport the same colors as the heraldic crest of England’s Baltimore family
I posted an adult male earlier, but this is an adult female. These orioles are unrelated to the Old World Orioles (family Oriolidae), but are classified with the New World Blackbirds (family Icteridae). Formerly lumped with the Bullock's Oriole under the name "Northern Oriole" the AOS...
For the last week, I had been seeing the female. The week before that, the male. And now, I finally managed to capture both of them at once. Well, for a second. As you can see, the male is landing and the female is leaving. My favorite photo I have ever taken!
This juvenile Baltimore Oriole was going to my feeder and went and sat in this tree. I managed to get a good shot of it because it was right outside my bedroom window.

This Baltimore Oriole was constantly moving around in the tree tops. The glow from the light as sunset was approaching made him appear like a bright flame among the branches.

One more day to wrap up the tour I'm guiding in Belize! We had great views of neotropical species and many migrants, like this male Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula) that fits just right with the rest of the colorful Belizean birds. I will post more pictures from this wonderful little country soon.
