Northern (Baltimore) Orioles...

Six page report with 18 photographs. One image, center of this page, of
a male Orchard Oriole. They’re a hard act to follow. Northern Orioles are the ones
we get to observe in the North East. They usually appear by May for their rituals
of partnering, nesting and breeding.
The 2 young males at the bottom were doing numbers on each other, nothing
really violent, more a song-and-dance routine... One of them eventually got to
fly away with the trophy who had been on a perch nearby.
