You may find this colorful member of
the blackbird family in open woodlands, parks, or even your backyard. It eats a
lot of insects, especially caterpillars, as well as fruit and nectar. Baltimore
Orioles and many other songbirds need dark skies to safely migrate—you can help
by reducing the amount of light outside your home at night.
Conservation Status: Low Concern
