Yesterday, I noticed a pair of Northern Orioles (Baltimore) working together to weave a nest. They were so “deep” into their work that they didn’t notice me only 30′ away. They have been eating mulberries by the hundreds every day; the supply is plentiful on one tree in particular. The female mostly weaves while the male watches.
We are expecting lots of rain and strong storms (possibly severe) over the next 3 days with a slow moving front. There is plenty of moisture in place here; its been so hazy I can’t see the mountains:
Wow, I didn’t know Baltimore orioles nested in Arkansas. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one (I live in Saline county). Nice shots 🙂
Yes, from Louisiana to Western kansas to Canada to the east coast; pretty big range. Used to be Baltimore Oriole now renamed Northern Oriole. Two nests at my home here, Thanks for looking, Steve
