First up, a Baltimore Oriole nest near the Gull Point Trailhead at Presque Isle State Park, at the end of a very long, rather slender branch:
And, 1 or 2 male Baltimore Orioles a bit closer to the ground along the Gull Point Trail:
Looks like mild weather is predicted for the weekend, with much warmer temps expected next week. Happy nature/birding!
Loved this sequence of photos! Nice to see the B.O. closeup, and at its nest, too! Great job!
The bird in the closeups was right by the trail and seemed unusually unconcerned with human presence. But it seemed healthy + preening, so happy to see it more closely than usual.
