A Baltimore Oriole Feathursday

This week we bring you a chromolithographic plate of Baltimore Orioles (Icterus galbula) from Part 2, Volume 2 of Brehms Thierleben (1882). Yes, this oriole is the state bird of Maryland and the Baltimore Orioles baseball team is named after the bird, but this species of oriole is not named simply after the region it is associated with, but rather because of the resemblance of the male's colors to those on the coat-of-arms of Cecil Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore, proprietor of the Maryland colony from 1632–1675. 

Here, the orioles are depicted with their distinctive, pendulous nest, but curiously it displays not one but two male orioles attending to the nest, when in fact 1.) orioles tend to be monogamous, and 2.) it is actually the female that builds the nest. Well, at least it shows the female overseeing the construction, and we appreciate the unidentified artist’s indication that this is an American bird by including an American paddlewheel river boat in the scene. In our small corner of the country, our feeders are visited by both the Baltimore Oriole and the Orchard Oriole (Icterus spurius).
