22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Male Baltimore Oriole With Blossoms

We have the pleasure of seeing these vivacious migratory Baltimore Orioles from spring until early September. Our flowering crab apple tree was blossoming beautifully at the time, on 5/11/2024 when I shot this picture close to noon in our backyard. He was just getting set to fly off the branch to eat some grape jelly where his attention was focused on.
