There are few birds more beautiful in song and plumage than the Baltimore Oriole. The song is liquid and rich resembling the sound of a flute, and both the male and female have beautiful orange and yellow colors accented with black and punctuated with white. I've put out the welcome mat for my resident Baltimore Orioles. They should be returning any day now to build their nest that resembles a stocking hanging from the outer tip of a branch. If you want to attract orioles, don't bother with that orange syrup they sell at the stores. Instead, put out orange halves or plain grape jelly. Better yet, plant a mulberry tree so you and the orioles can share the fruit!
