Orioles are one of the most vividly colored birds in North America

Orioles are adorned with beautiful orange and black plumage. The bright orange contrasts sharply with the dark wings and head. The males are brighter orange and starker black than the females. The females have patches that are almost brown. Their beauty makes them a welcome sight at back yard bird feeders.
Each year, orioles migrate to warmer climates, returning each spring to the northern climates.
