Cumberland Maine 3/23/24 - Any ideas?

[Anne Burton]

At feeder today in Cumberland, Maine.  I know it's exceedingly unlikely - but (female?) Northern Oriole?  Or just plain ole Robin?

Not sure if this is the way to attach photo, but it is a "Live Photo" from iPhone.

The photo opened fine at my end.  The bird had the look of "What am I doing here.... Brrrr".  The bill shape, white wing bars and yellow on the tail suggests a Baltimore Oriole.  I will leave that determination to the experts.  /Allan

Sure looks like a Baltimore Oriole to me!  Likely an overwintering bird, since this species was reported on eBird visiting feeders in Saco and Wells in February and March.  Earlier in this very mild winter, it likely did just fine eating mostly fruits and berries.

Looks good to me.

I had a Baltimore Oriole at our sunflower feeder on 12/14 in Nobleboro. Took me a while to be convinced but eventually posted 3 pictures to iNatuarlist. 

In the last 40 years the winter feeder birds have been surprising to me. But I don't have the baggage of what should or shouldn't be.

Pictures can be seen by visiting inatualist.org, choosing explore, then searching for Baltimore Oriole in Nobleboro Maine
