Oriole, Baltimore:
Description: 8 1/4" Black hood and back with brilliant orange chest. Large orange patches on tail. Females are olive /orange with varying hood on head. Sound: Not yet available Food Source: The Baltimore Oriole feasts on insects, fruits, flower nectar, and loves orange slices along with nectar feeders.. You can lure orioles to your backyard with sliced orange halves and sugar/water feeders. They also enjoy grape jelly. Nesting Habits: In constructing its nest, a woven, hanging pouch, the oriole is perhaps the most skillful bird of any in North American. Often regarded as a little cradle hanging high in the air near the end of a long drooping branch of an elm tree, where it swings and tosses in the wind, but the bird also builds in poplars, maples, and even in the apple and pear trees in orchards, where it is anchored to a more stable branch.
