And the Baltimore Oriole is an iconic eastern bird, which winters along Mexico’s east coast, but never in the west. This was only my fourth encounter with the species (all on the east side). He should have visited my home last month, when both species were visiting my birdbath almost daily. And yet, there it was.

As feared, work kept me from appreciating the richness of avian diversity in western New York, but luckily a juvenile Baltimore Oriole crossed my path to provide something fun to observe. Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend could have been any of a multitude of species spotted on the East Pond of Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.

It was fun and I ended up with 124 species. And, amazingly, despite visiting less parks and having to end my day even earlier than last time to go pick up my son, I ended the day with the same exact number of species. How can you not take a picture of a Baltimore Oriole below eye-level? So, this past Friday, I did it again.

Lying about 70 nautical miles west of Key West, Dry Tortugas National Park is a small group of low lying islands rich in history and in wildlife. A first impression of Garden Key on the approach to the tiny isle. Sadly, one also learns how difficult it must be for these small birds to make their migrations twice a year.

The vast majority of Baltimore Orioles that breed in North America return to the tropics between Mexico and northern South America for the cold half of the year. The truth is, wintering Baltimore Orioles are unusual, but not unheard of, in the southeast. Instead I saw a flash of orange. But how does the apply to Orioles?

In the following year, American telegraph pioneer Samuel Morse encountered such difficulty in his original plan to lay underground telegraph cable between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. But history doesn’t seem to have recorded which species of bird first dared to land on an electrical wire.
