BALTIMORE ORIOLE — Yphantes Baltimore. 
The Baltimore Oriole is another of the hang-nest birds, and is common in 
North America. 
The nest of the Baltimore Oriole is somewhat similar to that of the preceding 
species, although it is generally of a thicker and tougher substance, and more 
ingeniously woven. The materials of which this beautiful habitation is made are 
flax, various kinds of vegetable fibres, mud, and hair, matted together, so as to 
resemble felt in consistency.
