Field Notes
Description:
Smaller and more slender than an American Robin, Baltimore Orioles are medium-sized, sturdy-bodied songbirds with thick necks and long legs. Look for their long, thick-based, pointed bills, a hallmark of the blackbird family they belong to. Adult males are flame-orange and black, with a solid-black head and one white bar on their black wings. Females and immature males are yellow-orange on the breast, grayish on the head and back, with two bold white wing bars.
Habitat:
A pair landed briefly in the top of the Hackberry trees. The fourth photo is just a glimpse of the male. It was getting late in the day, so her color is muted.
