Facts About Baltimore Oriole [Icterus galbula]
Apparently, the Major League Baltimore Orioles adopted their name and team colors from Baltimore Oriole species. And about the bird, the Baltimore Orioles build their nests on branches that are far away from trunk of the tree. Even though it is more visible to air predators, it is harder for the predators like squirrels to get into their nests.
