	Orchard Oriole
		During the breeding season, Orchard Orioles range from the southern parts of the Canadian Prairie provinces, southern Ontario, central New York, and southern New England south to northern Florida, the Gulf coast, Texas and central Mexico.
		Orchard Orioles spend most of the year on their wintering grounds in Central America and northwestern South America.
		Orchard Orioles spend only enough time on the breeding grounds to raise a single brood before beginning their southward migration.

	GardenGuides
		Orchard orioles, found in the same range as northern (Baltimore) orioles, are sometimes overlooked because their colors are more muted.
		Where the northern oriole is brilliant orange, the orchard oriole is chestnut; its tail is entirely fl, it has less white in the wing, and it’s slightly smaller.
		Orioles are also fond of soft fruits and berries, green peas, mountain ash, and the seeds of garden flowers such as hollyhocks and sunflowers.

	Attracting Orioles
		Orioles often eat fruit and can be attracted with orange halves placed on platform feeders, a deck railing, or nailed to a tree.
		Some orioles seem to be more attracted to oranges when they first return from their wintering areas but switch to an insect diet soon after.
		Orioles also may use special sugar water feeders because sugar water is similar to the flower nectar on which orioles naturally feed.

	Birds - Orchard Oriole
		With a more southerly range than the Baltimore oriole and less conspicuous coloring, the orchard oriole is not so familiar a bird in many Northern States, where, nevertheless, it is quite common enough to be classed among our would-be intimates.
		The orchard is not always as close to the house as this bird cares to venture; he will pursue an insect even to the piazza vines.
		This oriole, too, builds a beautiful nest, not often pendent like the Baltimore's, but securely placed in the fork of a sturdy fruit tree, at a moderate height, and woven with skill and precision, like a basket.

	The Orchard Oriole, or Hang-nest
		The migration of the Orchard Oriole from south to north is performed by day, and singly, as is that of its relative the Baltimore Oriole, the males appearing a week or ten days sooner than the females.
		Their flight is lower than that of the Baltimore, and considerably shorter in its continuance, the Orchard Oriole alighting more frequently on the tops of the trees, to rest or to feed.
		Although the food of the Orchard Orioles consists principally of insects of various kinds, it is not composed exclusively of them.

	A RESUME OF ANTING, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO A CAPTIVE ORCHARD ORIOLE
		My oriole commonly anted for 25 minutes; that is, from the time it be- gan to apply ants until the time it quit or the ants were removed.
		The oriole's selectivity also demonstrates that the behavior of birds in the presence of ants cannot be evaluated without determination of the ant species and variability within the colony.
		During the oriole's treatment of the wing tip, when tail was pressing against it, basal parts of rectrices (including undertail coverts) at times received some of the anointment, thus increasing the proportion of applications af- fecting the undertail region.

		This Oriole appears on our southern border about the first of April, moving leisurely northward to its breeding grounds for a month or six weeks, according to the season, the males preceding the females several days.
		The favorite haunts of this very agreeable songster, as his name implies, are orchards, and when the apple and pear trees are in bloom, and the trees begin to put out their leaves his notes have an ecstatic character quite the reverse of the mournful lament of the Baltimore species.
		The Orchard Oriole is very social, especially with the king bird.

		The bill pattern is actually more similar to Orchard, which does have grey on the bill (I had to read my text!).

		This mystery oriole was photographed 19 June 1990 at Cimarron National Grassland in Kansas and is contributed by Don Roberson.
