oriole

Black-and-orange flier

Orioles are songbirds known for their bright plumage—typically vivid yellows, oranges, and blacks—and their melodious, flute-like songs.

New World orioles, found throughout the Americas, are not closely related to Old World orioles of Europe, Asia, and Africa; the name was applied to the American birds by early colonists who noticed similar coloring.

Orioles build distinctive hanging, pouch-like nests woven from plant fibers.

A Baltimore oriole appeared at our feeder this morning.
