Ornithology: Breeding and Nests: The Baltimore oriole (Icterus galbula) is a small icterid blackbird common in eastern North America as a migratory breeding bird, solitary outside their mating season and generally monogamous. In the spring, males establish a territory then display to females by singing and chattering while hopping from perch to perch in front of them. The Baltimore oriole's nest is built by the female. It is a tightly woven pouch consisting of any plant or animal materials available, hanging down on the underside of a branch and usually located high above ground.
