Though it’s been less than two weeks since the first Baltimore orioles returned to western Pennsylvania, it didn’t take long for them to arrive in force and begin to establish their territories.
Now they’re everywhere and obvious — singing, chasing, chattering with annoyance, drowning out the songs of other birds.
As soon as they’ve paired up Baltimore orioles sing a lot less and become almost secretive.
Enjoy them now while they’re ostentatious.

I was at Wingfield Pines this weekend and there were a lot of Balitmore Orioles. It seemed to happen overnight (well maybe over a week’s period). They really have a pretty song. Isn’t Spring great?!? 🙂
What are the yellow birds Hope keeps bringing to the nest. another one this morning
Earnhatd3fan, I am away from my computer all day so can’t look at the cam to find out. Maybe another reader knows the answer. Any ideas, folks?
Seems to be Goldfinches.
Earnhartd3fan, I’m thinking goldfinch, but I’m not 100% sure.
