Feathered Migratory Superstar
Brilliant.
Agile acrobat, long distance flier…
over 3,000 miles…one way.
Deciduous tree top nester…
in a suspended sock shaped nest of woven fibers.
Construction lasts up to 15 days.
Try weaving a nest with no hands…Oh, & make it pouch shaped.
Gloriously musical, males sing to defend nests.
Insects, fruit and nectar compose the Baltimore Oriole diet.
But grape jelly is the oriole’s favorite go-to-day-long snack.
Males stunning, black and orange…
females, subtle orange-brown sort of camouflage.
Think…this bird is a feathered miracle.
Migrating over 3,000 miles, weaving nests with a bird bill…
thriving on a diet of grape jelly.
Consider the Baltimore Oriole and…
“Remember the wondrous works that He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He uttered…”
Psalm 105:5
Not only do Baltimore Orioles enjoy grape jelly…the Orchard Orioles come regularly to a jelly feeder. This one is a male. Sharing grape jelly with these marvelous creatures is a pleasure!
