The brightly colored Baltimore Oriole received its name from the resemblance of the male’s colors to those on the coat-of-arms of 17th-century Lord Baltimore.

We saw this Baltimore Orioles in our backyard enjoying nectar
The Baltimore Orioles’ diet is mainly insects, berries, nectar as well as sugar water. In summer it feeds mostly on insects, especially caterpillars. It also eats beetles, grasshoppers, wasps, bugs plus spiders and snails. Orioles also eat berries and sometimes cultivated fruit.
Oh I know, these beautiful birds only visit us around Spring or Summer every year. I anxiously wait these beautiful birds arrival. We have gorgeous Orchard Orioles here.

A neighbour told me that she used to cut oranges and hang them on the trees, so the Orioles would stay longer around. But yes, it is the nectar they enjoy more🙂
