A BALTIMORE) ORIOLE AFTER A BATH Photo by Ernest Harold Baynes 



The Baltimore oriole is remarkable for its bright colors, and to these it owes its name, 

 as the livery of the Lords Baltimore, who founded Maryland, was orange and black of just 

 those tones that the bird exhibits. Cats have been eliminated on this place.

"Water, particularly during the summer months or times of drought, is necessary for 

 the birds. If they can't get it on your place, they will be forced to look elsewhere. The 

 proper installment of a drinking fountain or bird bath is a simple affair, and one that is 

 almost sure to prove a great attraction to the birds, as well as a never-failing source of 

 entertainment to the owner" (see text, page 333).
