We have had a male Baltimore oriole overwinter in our backyard in Lynchburg
the past 3-4ish years. It did not show up this year, although a couple days
ago another community member shared photos of a male oriole in her backyard.

Baltimore Orioles seem to be lingering more into the winter.
We had two on the DC Christmas Bird Count on Dec 19 at Dyke Marsh.
All orioles reported in the winter have been Baltimore and a vagrant
Scott's. No reports of Orchard that I know of.
Anybody else have any other reports?

Subject: [va-bird] overwintering oriole
For the last few days I've had a Northern/Baltimore oriole (looks like a
female) frequenting my feeders in the Fort Hunt area of Fairfax County.Ð I
don't know how common this is, so thought I'd mention it.Ð I know it's the
first time I've seen one in the yard in almost 20 years.Ð Not much else of
note -- a flock of Siskins and the Cedar Waxwings make me happy when they
stop by, but in general it's the normal winter mix of birds, other than the
oriole.Ð Ð You are subscribed to VA-BIRD. To post to this mailing list,
