All the quarter century I've lived around Baltimore, I've only ever seen one Baltmore Oriole actually in my yard — but most of them migrate away during the cold months.


But I often see beautiful cardinals, especially in the winter, both the red papa birds and the tawny mamas. They really stand out against the snow, which we had a lot of this past week.

Spectacular male! Love your photo! Mine is not nearly as clear, but this is a female that visited during lockdowns. A welcomed sight!

Cardinals are my absolute favorites of our Winter birds. We have a TON of them at our feeder in the winter months. They LOVE roosting in our Lilac hedge during the day; they are so POLITE at the feeder, too!

They also like our hedge of High Bush Cranberry Viburnum - but it seems that they will eat those berries LAST, no matter what the Winter brings.
