Summer is the perfect season to photograph colorful birds.

Baltimore Oriole
The Spruce / jskbirds
Boldly colorful, the Baltimore oriole is the most familiar oriole in eastern North America. These orange-and-black birds were once lumped with their western counterpart, the Bullock's oriole, as one species. Today, Baltimore orioles are welcomed as songbirds and have also found a place of honor as mascots for teams and schools and the state bird of Maryland. These birds visit yards where oranges and jelly are offered.
