First Spring 2012 Sighting of Male Baltimore Oriole<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n Male Baltimore Oriole high up in a Honey Locust tree on May 7, 2012.<\/p>\n \n Male Baltimore Oriole Singing in Apple Tree 2011<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n \n Singing Male Baltimore Oriole 2011<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n \n Baltimore Oriole Male Giving Me the Eyes 2011<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n \n Female Baltimore Oriole 2012<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n The female Baltimore Oriole is a frequent visitor to the Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers ‘wells’ in a Hawthorn tree. The sweet sap must offer an energy boost for all the efforts she makes weaving her intricate nest while mostly upside down.<\/p>\n \n Female Baltimore Oriole Flying from Nest in Native Black Cherry 2012<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n Lucky for me . . . the Baltimore Orioles continue to choose our native Black Cherry tree in the north field just in view from where I am typing. She has quite a bit more material to weave into her nest seen in the upper left of the photograph above.<\/p>\n \n Female Baltimore Oriole Gathering Nesting Material 2010<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n A couple of years ago, I chanced to see the female Baltimore Oriole stripping dry plant stems for nesting material.<\/p>\n \n This female Baltimore Oriole was very striking and with very little black-brown on her head. Perhaps she is a very young adult. Over time the females can become as bright orange as the males.<\/p>\n \n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/focusingonwildlife.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/sDSC_4859.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
