We visited the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Northern Virginia this afternoon. As usual, we saw many beautiful flowers as well as a variety of birds. The highlights of this visit were seeing an Osprey catch a fish as well as spotting Baltimore Orioles.

Swing Dispute

Two Baltimore Orioles (Icterus galbula) are engaged in a spirited dispute over half an orange at a bird feeder designed like a bench swing.

Baltimore Orioles belong to the blackbird family. To view images of these striking birds and other members of their family, visit my photo gallery at:

FEATHRUARY 2025

Prompt 16: Backyard
-> Baltimore Oriole

The 4th and final week of #feathruary has started! And the first prompt I tackled was "backyard".

Granted, I will never see one of these beauties in my backyard, but since I have already drawn every German backyard birb at least once, I looked on and eventually landed (ha!) on this one.

Baltimore orioles are quite common in North America, where they live in the Nearctic during summer and migrate to winter in the Neotropics.

Because of their beautiful colour and song, people grew very fond of them and arranged special oriole feeders in their backyards; orioles discovered those and lead their young ones there, resulting in them becoming popular backyard birbs.

They mainly feed on fruit and nectar, but unlike other fruit-eating birbs, they prefer very ripe fruit, picking only the darkest and juciest berries for example. They also like to mlem on halved oranges and have been observed to be fond of grape jelly. So, if you live near them and want to attract them, you know what to do. :D

FUN FACT
The Baltimore oriole gets its name from 17th century Lord Baltimore. Their colours match those of Lord Baltimore's coat-of-arms, hence the name. Today, it is the state birb of Maryland and namesake and mascot for the Baltimore Orioles, a baseball team.
