Baltimore Oriole (female or immature male) – 5/25/23

Observer: Punitha Hanumantha

Observation Date: 5/25/23

Observation Time: 5:00 p.m.

Observation Location: Fales Rd., Sharon

Common Name: Baltimore Oriole (female or immature male)

Scientific Name: Icterus galbula

Comments: Baltimore Orioles seek out ripe fruit. Cut oranges in half and hang them from trees to invite orioles into your yard. Special oriole feeders filled with sugar water supplement the flower nectar that Baltimore Orioles gather. You can even put out small amounts of jelly to attract these nectar-eaters (just don’t put out so much that it risks soiling their feathers). Planting bright fruits and nectar-bearing flowers, such as raspberries, crab apples, and trumpet vines, can attract Baltimore Orioles year after year.
