Thank you Leslie for the clear concise presentation coupled with your fondness for all things birding! Something all of us birdlovers appreciate! I loved hearing the difference and seeing examples of junior, female and adult males' coloring. I have seen juveniles that I wasn't sure if they were really orioles, but now I know they were. Living in rural Medina Ohio, I enjoy learning as much as I can about the birds we love and their great contributions as well as how our life practices affect their health and survival.

Cool! I got a free bag of milkweed seeds from Wild Birds Unlimited to attract Monarch butterflies and caterpillars, so it’s even more exciting to learn that they can attract Orioles, too. 😁

When the cutie bent over and looked at camera I saw his tongue! It looks like that of a hummingbirds. Never knew that!😃

One day I was standing on my porch.. Then I see a Baltimore oriole. " I know that bird...it's from Lesley!" It was in an apple tree 🌳...its bright colors were magnificent, And his song was so calming.😋💕😇

To everyone who shared these videos --> Thank You. I am 51 and in Virginia and have never seen an Oriole., except in Baltimore at the baseball field and they were humans. Wonderful video.

Living in Cincinnati for 35 years and still haven’t ever seen an Oriole 😕. One day…

On my vacation to my and my brother's property in Upstate NY, there was a beautiful male Oriole, singing and taking a bath in a frying pan by our grill next to our screen house! My sis in law had been up and told me that there was an orange bird hanging around that was so beautiful, and there it was! I wish I had my phone camera ready but I couldn't take m y eyes off of it! It made me so happy!

As a kid I learned Birds from my Dad, this was one of the first birds I learned.

I learned about birds all by myself

Leslie, first let me say how much I enjoy your videos and the timbre of your voice. 25 years ago I wanted to see the Baltimore oriole in the widely diverse community of my ravine yard in Niagara Ontario. 6 years of putting up out orange halves in the trees I was finally rewarded with the splendour of the Baltimore oriole and its crisp song. Since then, mostly every may 2 (occasionally may 1st) I am delighted by these special little friends until they say goodbye in early October. I have observed their lightning speed and acrobatics as they dart out of a tree to capture an insect in flight. I refill nectar and 4 jelly feeders daily, having gone through a record 45 500 ml jars of grape jelly in a season. A bushel and a half of Concord grapes each autumn is cooked down and canned up for these delightful creatures. Thank you for another wonderful video.

at my house in Wisconsin, we have some apple trees that blossom every spring. I love watching the Orioles with their vibrant colors! such a neat little bird :)

I have a pair in Central Indiana. I first saw and started feeding them last year and happy to see them return this year. There is a fencerow behind our house and a near by field and nature area

I live in Connecticut and have had Baltimore Orioles at my house for several years. This year I have more then I have had in the past. They even squawk at me while I’m in the garden if their jelly cup is low!! I have them as well as purple finch and cat birds visiting the jelly cup and some time Small woodpeckers. They all seem to love the grape jelly and the sugar water that is out for my hummingbirds. Thanks for the information !

Good information on Orioles! When I was in NY back in the 80s, I watched an Oriole family build their nest ( which was different from most nests) way up in the tree, out on a branch that hung off of it! If you ever get the chance to witness that you will remember it for the rest of your life! Happy birding...

You are so lucky to have seen that. I've read so much about how awesome their nests are. I havent forgotten the neat blue headed vireo nest I saw in 2013, I can imagine the impact seeing a Baltimore Oriole nest would have on me

Wow, Baltimore Orioles are gorgeous and very colorful~💕 BTW, KY and TN belong to the breeding area! I thought I have never seen them, but I will need to look for them more carefully…😅 Thank you for sharing this amazing video! 🤗👍 🔆AniFam〽️

Early May is when we get the regular gang of Oriole's that grace our farm. We look forward to seeing them. We have a U-pic blueberry operation, I didn't know they feed of small fruits, that make sense now. Someone asked me once how do we control birds in the blueberries. I told them we need to share, and that they eat enough bugs to earn whatever they eat in blueberries.

Our arrived last week, three males and one female , the males are really loving the suet blocks, which I didn’t know they ate, the female sticks to the jelly♥️. Every year I have to think hard what bird is that when I hear the chattering song, beautiful ! Thank you for sharing , every time I learn something new!

I had these birds at a rural property. In the spring I would have upstairs windows open and listen as the male made his rounds singing at various trees marking his territory. One year, a male had a very distinctive song. Next spring I'm sitting at desk and heard that distinctive song again! He had made it back successfully from his long migration! I jumped up to go look at him in a large pecan tree. The third year I did not hear that song. Another Baltimore Oriole was there, but I like to think it was his son

I get the orioles every year. They love oranges, grape jam and nectar. Just had my first oriole of this year show up on May 7th... also my rose breasted grosbeaks and a hummingbird. A bit too cold yet, more wii come!!

Favorite part was seeing the seeing the birds feed from the cut oranges stuck on trees. What a great idea. Love your channel. ❤️ Your deep appreciation for these beautiful creatures is so apparent in all your videos.

Sadly, I've never seen an Oriole where we currently live, in the inland northwest. Another colorful bird that occasionally comes around is the Western Tanager. Look that one up -- it's also stunningly beautiful.

They are stunningly beautiful to see! I saw one last weekend at a friend's house and I was just thrilled! I hadn't seen one of these in years!

Lesley, you know what? I'm a mid 30s guy who NO one would expect to be a bird nerd.. but I just put in a 100 inch window to watch these beautiful birds!

Here in Southern Calif, we hang alot of hummingbird feeders, but one day, we saw a bright yellow/orange Western Oriole, drinking the hummingbird juice. It was unbelievable, we were in shock! Didn't think the bird could even get its beak into the small holes. I am over 60 and this was the one and only time I ever saw one!

I get these at my feeders in the Spring and Summer and I'm so obsessed with them and with hummingbirds.

Orioles just arrived to east central Iowa yesterday. Visited my jelly feeder. I have a large cottonwood tree they like to make their sock nest in every year.

Last 25 year's I've been seeing them in my backyard feeding from my jelly feeders. Not even 1 this year still listening and watching for them

We get these orioles every year, and I miss their sharp whistle when they are gone! I am in Wisconsin.

I live in southwestern Pennsylvania and Orioles began showing up in our back yard around four years ago. Lots of free food could be a reason. Love grape jelly amd sugar water from the humming bird feeder.

I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, 25 min. SW of Marquette along the Middle Branch of the Escanaba River. I always have feeders out. During Spring migration I get 4-5 red breasted Grosbecks, 2-3 Oriole pairs, and a male Indigo Bunting. They all stay for a few days, then move on, except the Grosbecks who stay until nesting time. Then they come around fewer and fewer until July when they seem to be gone. In the Winter I have two different gatherings of Bluejays, about 12-15 in each group but before a storm or during an Artic cold snap, another gathering hangs out in the back where I feed the wild turkeys. There are about 50 in that gathering and they are more shy. A quart of sunflower chips and crack corn go in minutes but I ensure they get their fill. It's getting expensive getting these feathered friends through the Winter. You do a great job on your videos Lesley, thank you.

I live in Maryland, and have all my life (52 years now), but I've only seen one of these beauties! It was on a disc golf course, and he was perched on a low branch right on the edge of the trees bordering the course. I didn't see him until I was only 10' from him, so I got a really good look until he flew away, deeper into the trees.

I saw my first Oriole this year about 2 days ago. They don't stay long here in So Central PA. They're just passing thru to parts up North. They are beautiful electric orange birds and sing such an unique song unfamiliar to these parts. It's always a treat to see them. ❤️

I LOVE these birds! I've only been lucky enough to see a single male at the top of a tree around 2 years ago but ever since then I've been hoping to see one again!

N. PA... Our 1st pair surprised us last weekend. For years, We keep orange halves and homemade jam out for them till they move on. Hummingbirds due anytime now, Yay!

Ours showed up May 2nd in central Michigan, same exact day as last year. Our oriole feeder is on a shepherd's hook just a couple feet from the window (helps to prevent window crashes) we look out at the rest of our feeders. If I don't get the grape jelly out before they show up, they will sit on the shepherd's hook and look through the window like, "hey, we're back, where's the food?" LOL, so cute! Last year, we had about a dozen around. We notice the Rose Breasted Grosbeak's and House Finches like the grape jelly as well. Interesting that they eat tent catapillers as we get a lot of those some years here. I wonder if they eat gypsy moths or catapillers... that would be wonderful if they did! They are TERRIBLE around here! I didn't realize that they only defend the area around their nests... that helps explain why we see so many of them around the feeder. It was also neat to learn where they got their name. I always wanted to see one of their nests, but so far, I haven't come across one, but I haven't tried very hard, either. 😆

---------- in '66 their team flew through to the pennant won that ....didn't need to nest too long in undefeated WS of LA ..... beautiful birds ....

We've had Baltimore Orioles for several years. The males are spectacular. I saw two on our feeder a couple days ago. No ruby throated hummingbirds so far but it's been cooler than normal.

Love these birds! I love their chatter call! Thanks for sharing and thanks to all the people who submitted photos and videos!

I sure wish they'd come be my pest on my oranges and feeders out there for them! Maybe in the fall, this year with my berry shrubs planted 🤞. Perhaps so as my yard is filled with every other feathered friend! 🙌🧡❤💛

Thank you, Lesley, for this presentation. I love Orioles and have a feeder with grape jelly in my backyard every year. I love to see them but did not know a lot about them. You have closed that gap for me! Thank you!

There are orioles in my friends backyard where the food is! I’d only seen them in books as a kid... it’s so great to see them! We live in Santa Barbara, California. I think we are also on a migration route , as I’ve seen swans flying overhead at certain times of the year... I also saw a flicker, huge woodpecker!!! Our normal ones are small and so cute! Thanks Leslie so much for posting bird videos!!! Such a treat to see these guys!!! Sending love and health to you always♥️♥️♥️oh! They do love grape jelly and lemon curd( in small amts) I will tell my dear friend to set oranges out for them! !!

Love Orioles Only seen them couple times in real life.

I first saw an oriole here in Ohio back in 2007. We were so excited to see a pair weave a long sock-like nest high up in a tulip poplar in our yard. I've been putting out orange halves every year for them. Apparently they've spread the word..... or their offspring remember where they were hatched, because we now have at least 4 pairs that return here every spring. Once they located our hummybird feeders they have been happy to suck sugar-water too. Bonus: Our woodpeckers like sweets too. They aggressively go after the orange halves and lately they will also hang awkwardly on the tiny hummybird perches to drink syrup..... sometimes side by side with an oriole.

They just returned to our feeders this week along with the hummingbirds.

Love their sound..thank you Lesley

The orioles are in my back yard right now, they like my cherry tree and apple tree, I put fresh oranges out for them, I used to have a peach tree and they really liked it.

I’m in Northwest Ohio, and they arrived here April 28th, which was the exact same date they arrived last year. I’ve been feeding them grape jelly in the backyard feeder, and they come consistently. As Summer progresses, I will be feeding them live meal worms 🐛 as well. I always count the days down, every Spring until their return. They are some of my favorites to observe. 🥰

Orioles just returned to my yard today. 🧡. Great video

I see them by one of my favorite fishing spots ! They are one of the prettiest birds !

In the west, we have the Bullocks Oriole, not as much black and not a fully black head. Still, a stunning bird. An oriole builds a pouch nest that hangs from a tree branch. When I was attending elementary school in southern California, I would see an Oriole's nest hanging from a HUGE Torrey Pine as I walked uphill on our dirt road from our bus stop. I also saw a Bullock's Oriole land on our deck railing. We had a huge picture window in our living room and I was privileged to look out and see him. A brilliant orangy-yellow and some black, with a little white. Bullocks are now called Western Orioles, and some of them overlap the Baltimore's range in the Midwestern states, or vice-versa, and they interbreed, resulting in hybrids. At one time, these were captured as caged birds for the pet trade. That was outlawed, thank goodness!

Such a beautiful bird. And a joy to watch.

Such beautiful birds. Love seeing them and feeding Orioles

Wonderful information!!! This is a fantastic video. Thank you. I know so much more about them now. I feel so much better prepared to help and attract these wonderful creatures!

We get them here in WI, even up north. They sure are a shy bird, sticking to the tops of the trees most of the time but many people have success with feeders near the house. Great songs and great colors, I always feel lucky when I catch a glimpse.

I heard a racket in my backyard in Maryland and saw a pair of Orioles and a pair of Robins flying and bickering in the trees in my backyard. It was only after that that I noticed a nest in the tree. Upon closer look I discovered that it held 3 baby robins! I now enjoy watching the family happily nesting in the backyard and busy finding food in the front. It was great to see all these birds. Thanks so much for your videos.

I live on Long Island.The last week in April,the Orioles returned,and they would fill my yard with their beautiful song.I would hear them sing,all summer!!Every so often,I would catch a glimpse of them,flying between the trees!!

Just love your videos. They're very calming and packed with fascinating information. Thank you so much.

As a child in the 70s I was trout fishing In a mountain creek, I had caught my limit and was returning to our tent site traveling up the trail. As I rounded a corner of the trail there in a tree along the edge of the opening in a hardwood tree was around a hundred Baltimore Orioles, the tree was orange with all the birds! Never again have I seen such a sight. We live on a mountain in the Adirondacks and our home overlooks our pasture, the Baltimore Orioles return each year to nest in the hardwood trees in our front yard. When they nest in the trees in their sack like nests they sing to me from the heights on their perch. Your video was very interesting and I will retain the knowledge passed on.

For the first time ever, I saw a Baltimore oriole last weekend. I was sitting by the river having a picnic with my dad and my uncle while on a hike, and I heard a bird singing. It sounded a bit like a Rose-breasted Grosbeak, but I knew it was too short to be one. Then, when it sang again, I am immediately recognized it as a Baltimore oriole. And then, I saw a bright flash of orange fly to a nearby branch, and then my suspicion was proved. I was so happy to see my first oriole.

Love this one too Lesley! It has been years since we spotted an Oriole, it was during winter migration and they dinned from the suit feeder.

Though I've seen in the neighborhood before, this is the first year seeing Oriels in my yard! Having fun learning about them!

I'm seeing a lot of Baltimore Orioles this year in Cleveland, Ohio. After 2 years of watching and waiting for them to visit my urban garden, I'm in love with these sweet, colorful birds. I very much appreciated the feeder recipes. Thank you for all the great information.

😁 I've had oranges out for a while but until today only saw the house & purple finches. I've enjoyed their singing and time to try and identify the difference between them.

Thanks for mentioning the Lights Out program! I'm a volunteer for our local one. We walk our city each morning before daylight in the spring (now, for the next month or so) and fall migrations collecting bird strikes (and rehabbing any that are still alive). It's frustrating at times, but it's nice to see the ones we rehab fly free (and knowing that the dead ones will become specimens at our local Nat History museum to be useful for future science.
