It is delightful to witness the industrious Baltimore Oriole in action, skillfully peeling fiber to create the perfect cozy nest! Swinging gently from a tall branch like a basketball net, an oriole nest is unlike any other North American bird’s. Made up of hundreds of delicate fibers woven together, this seemingly fragile nest can hold up to seven eggs and remain sturdy long after its original purpose. It’s a true sign of how talented and dedicated female orioles are. . . #birdsofinstagram #bird

Are you seeing any Baltimore orioles at your feeders? When they're migrating in spring and fall, orioles love suet, full of fat and protein, to keep their energy up. In the summer, orioles readily eat from oranges and nectar feeders, but may visit less often in June and July when they are nesting and busy feeding insects to their young. | Iowa Department of Natural Resources
