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
oneswe 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.
