Plate XII

Baltimore Oriole
Drawn from Nature by J.J. Audubon
Engraved Printed & Coloured by R. Havell

During migration, the flight of the Baltimore Oriole is performed high above all the trees, and mostly during day, as I have usually observed them alighting, always singly, about the setting of the sun, uttering a note or two and darting into the lower branches to feed, and afterwards to rest.

– John James Audubon
