About

The less famous of the two eastern orioles has a lot of character, but often goes unnoticed by non-birders. The male is black and burnt-orange, attractive but less dazzling than the male Baltimore Oriole. It usually forages mid-level in trees and shrubs, while the Baltimore Oriole tends to forage higher in the canopy. The Orchard Oriole nests throughout most of the central and eastern U.S. It can most easily be located by listening for its very musical whistled song.
