I'd love if it if I had red bellies here. They're definitely one of the prettier woodies. What's the one below it?

Beautiful photo!

The Baltimore Oriole really is the state bird of Maryland. Have you ever seen one?

They are not a particularly common sight but also not uncommon. They are extremely beautiful and surprisingly small, about the size of a sparrow. They build a very unique nest, a hanging teardrop.

Their most common Maryland habitat is in a park called Camden Yards. And, in the distant past, they were able to hit home runs, throw shut-outs, and even steal second base...
