Baltimore Orioles visit my backyard for a short time each year in early May. This acrobatic guest made the most of my hummingbird feeder, cleverly swinging and balancing so he could take a drink.
This photo blog features the seasonal changes in nature observed in my own backyard and a variety of local environments. The Wachusett Meadow Audubon Sanctuary in Princeton, MA is often highlighted as a model for the positive effects a small nature preserve can have on the larger environment and the local community. Local sites of historical, cultural and recreational interest are spotlighted as well.
All photographs were taken by me. Thank you so much for visiting.
Just before we left Colorado, the first cousins of your orioles arrived in our part of Colorado–Bullock’s Orioles. I have seen the Baltimore variant in eastern Colorado and Nebraska. They are such fun birds to have at the feeder!
This is indeed a GLORIOUS looking Oriole. We get the Black-headed Oriole in South Africa which is bright yellow with a black head and an orange beak. I enjoy its visits to my nectar feeder too.
Beautiful bird.

He paused a bit longer than usual on the feeder, so I could get better pics.
