Baltimore Oriole: Magee Marsh

Baltimore and Bullock’s Oriole got lumped a few years ago into Northern Oriole…only to be split out again to the two familiar species. This is the eastern variety: Baltimore Oriole, captured visiting the orange halves some helpful soul put out along the edge of the parking lot at Magee Marsh. I would say, at a rough estimate, several hundred other photographers have shots of this same bird on this same orange (or its replacement…it looks about gone in this shot). Still, who can pass up a Baltimore Oriole on an orange? 🙂
