NORTHERN "BALTIMORE" ORIOLE
Icterus galbula galbula: 7-8"
Cornell link
Baltimore Orioles inhabit shade trees and populate backyards. They are brilliant orange with black hoods.I love these. I used to live in an inlaw apartment that had a well established orcahrd and garden with substantial landscaping. The owner would put out orange halves and the orioles would come and peck at them. The fiery flash of their bright orange feathers always thrills me when I see it.
