BOTD: Orchard Oriole

Photo: Ad Konings

"Most common in the Midwest and South is this small oriole. It favors open areas with scattered groves of trees, so human activities may have helped it in some areas, opening up the eastern woodlands and planting groves of trees on the prairies. Orchard Orioles often gather in flocks during migration. The black-throated young male, sitting alone in a treetop and singing his jumbled song, is often confusing to beginning birders."

- Audubon Field Guide

Feathursday Orioles!

Here are a few chromolithographic Feathursday Orioles, along with a Kingbird and a Flycatcher, from our 2-volume set of Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty, by the late-19th-century director of the Milwaukee Public Museum Henry Nehrling, and published in Milwaukee by George Brumder from 1893-1896. The lithographs are based on original water color paintings by the German naturalist painter Anton Goering. The individual birds from top to bottom are:

Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula), male.

Baltimore Oriole (Icterus galbula), female.

Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius).

Eastern Kingbird (Tyrannus tyrannus).

Bullock's Oriole (Icterus bullockii).

Scott's Oriole (Icterus parisorum).

Hooded Oriole (Icterus cucullatus).

Scarlet Flycatcher (Pyrocephalus rubinus).

The Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius) is a very sociable bird. Where many birds do not allow others of the same species to nest nearby, this oriole has no problem with several of them nesting in the near vicinity.

A Baltimore Oriole Feathursday

This week we bring you a chromolithographic plate of Baltimore Orioles (Icterus galbula) from Part 2, Volume 2 of Brehms Thierleben (1882). Yes, this oriole is the state bird of Maryland and the Baltimore Orioles baseball team is named after the bird, but this species of oriole is not named simply after the region it is associated with, but rather because of the resemblance of the male's colors to those on the coat-of-arms of Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, proprietor of the Maryland colony from 1632–1675.

Here, the orioles are depicted with their distinctive, pendulous nest, but curiously it displays not one but two male orioles attending to the nest, when in fact 1.) orioles tend to be monogamous, and 2.) it is actually the female that builds the nest. Well, at least it shows the female overseeing the construction, and we appreciate the unidentified artist’s indication that this is an American bird by including an American paddlewheel river boat in the scene. In our small corner of the country, our feeders are visited by both the Baltimore Oriole and the Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius).
