It was exaclty a year ago that I photographed a Baltimore Oriole at about the same spot while hiking. I really think I have heard them a few times since returning from the west, but this time I was able to find him. They are such a beautiful bird.

A Surprise Find

This is a first for me. This is a female Baltimore Oriole. I have taken many photos of males, but have never seen a female to photograph. I didn’t even notice until days later when I was editing photos. Nature is full of surprises.

Oriole Day

Every spring at about this time we see a number of Baltimore Oriole’s along the Miami River. Today was that day. We saw several, and managed to capture a few photos.

The Baltimore oriole is a icterid blackbird. This family of birds vary in size, but the common feature is the black as the predominate plumage. It makes for great contrast with bright colors such as yellow, orange, or red. That makes for a beautiful bird!

They sing loud, so we could hear him long before we could locate him. You would think that orange would be easy to spot, but it took a while. Once we located the first one, it was just a matter of time before we saw more. After that, they seem to be everywhere. They are so beautiful.

Some Baltimore in Ohio

While hiking yesterday we ran across several Baltimore Orioles. This one was just chilling where I was able to capture this photo. Most of the spots where I saw them made it really difficult to capture a photo.

I actually was able to hear them before I saw any of them. They have a distinct call. I am not saying I can recognized it quickly, but I knew it was not a bird I have seen recently. Once I saw him in my lens,I got kind of excited. I love the colors of the brid. They are such a beautiful creature.

Care For Lunch?

I snapped this shot of this Baltimore Oriole while we were hiking this week. It looks like its worm for dinner. He was at an odd angle, so you can’t see his full tail, but the colors are beautiful.
