Orioles are attracted to shade trees and
orchards. This is to facilitate their diet of berries and their
nests of finely woven weed. They eat blackberries, blueberries,
elderberries, mulberries, and serviceberries. This bird is known for
it's colorful plumage and strong melodically delightful voice. The
song is known to very from bird to bird. Their orange underside,
back, and tail feathers are complemented by black highlighted wing
bars. The bird is of course a pleasant visitor but they are somewhat
of a rarity. Former (eastern) Baltimore and (western) Bullock's
Orioles are now regarded a 1 species.
