A Pair of Baltimore Orioles

So why do they call it a "Baltimore" Oriole? Its from the fact that the male's colors resemble those on the coat-of-arms of Lord Baltimore.

I was enjoying my morning cup of coffee and when I spotted the orange I knew it could only be an Oriole. We never saw them again - which was unusual. Normally once we saw a bird at the house we saw them time and time again.

Go O's
